Mike Gravel
Mike Gravel 2008 Democratic Party Presidential candidate.

Mike Gravel former US Senator from Alaska comes across as a straight talker when compared to most of his political peers. His message is different than other green meme candidates not because his platform is more evolved than his competitors. Gravel stands apart because of his slightly more evolved understanding of cause and effect.

Contrasting Gravel's approach to that of his competitor is a good example of shift that may less about transcendence and more about catalyzing change. If Mike Gravel becomes President of the United States the number of orange meme individuals will not change instantly. However, if Gravel succeeds in giving individuals more clout in national governance, transformation is like to occur at a faster pace.
