Only this time, presidential hopeful Mike Gravel is chasing her tail.

I just watched the video below, which literally made me fall off my chair. It's hilarious.

The 77-year-old Libertarian candidate Gravel sings along (and no, he can't carry a tune) with the infamous Obama Girl, trying to get her to join his camp. "You should drop your crush on your Obama," he sings. "You ought to know you're off the chain." (I guess that means he thinks she's hot.)

Obama Girl responds saying while she digs "Mike," she's still got her Obama crush. She dances around in her usual tight-fitting Obama shirt, with Gravel watching on.

Enter "Crank That Soulja Boy" music. Gravel's past debate remarks are mixed to the hip-hop tune, then he's seen doing the Soulja Boy dance with Obama girl and others that made University of Wisconsin basketball coach Bo Ryan a YouTube favorite.

But alas, in the end, despite his efforts, Gravel gets no commitment from Obama Girl. "I'll think about it," she tells him when asked if she'll campaign for him instead of that other guy.

"I totally learned that Soulja Boy dance for nothing," Gravel laments.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
