Mike Gravel of Alaska, a 2008 Democratic candidate for president, was the only candidate to defy a party ban on campaigning in Florida during the presidential primary season.

During a party convention in Orlando Oct. 10, 2007, Gravel was interviewed by AP correspondent Brendan Farrington of Tallahassee."
