SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - After former Senator Mike Gravel failed to make the Democratic debate stage this week, the two teens running the 89-year-olds long-shot U.S. presidential campaign used their spot on the sidelines trying to attract new supporters through social media. Senator Mike Gravel speaks at an event in Carson City, Nevada, February 21, 2007. Under the @MikeGravel Twitter handle, which shows Gravel sporting sunglasses and making a peace sign, the teens mocked former congressman Beto ORourke and Senator Cory Bookers use of Spanish. The teens aim to get Gravel on the debate stage to steer the Democratic conversation to the left, particularly on foreign policy issues. The @MikeGravel account saw a bump of some 9,000 Twitter followers since Wednesday, jumping to about 109,000, and the campaign says they are nearing 50,000 unique donors.
