The coolest candidate in the race? It's Mike Gravel, of course. Video

By Tim Grieve

Former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel may not have made the cut for recent Democratic presidential debates on CNN and MSNBC -- the networks said he didn't meet their minimum qualifications -- but that doesn't mean he has gone away. Gravel is expected to appear -- in high-def, no less -- at Saturday's Brown and Black Forum in Iowa. And our friend rx, the mysterious multimedia genius behind "Dick Is a Killer," caught up with him the other day in Los Angeles to tape this "documentary."

"He was totally into it," rx tells us. "Not sure if he completely understood what I was up to, but neither did I. God love him for spending the time. Every politician should be this cool."
