Gov. “The Body” Ventura will not run again
In keeping with this AM’s wrestling news, it seems Gov. Jesse Ventura is in the news again; He isn’t willing to run for office again, but maybe he is?
Seems the Governor of Minnesota feels both candidates for Senate are offering less than Minnesotans deserve. In another stroke of celebrity happenstance, one of those two candidates is comedian and left-leaning pundit Al Franken.
“I’ve learned after 56 years you never say never. I have no intention at this point in time, but who knows, that could change.” He said that he’s watching the Senate race with interest, and that “I’m not very pleased with either candidate.”
They would be Republican Sen. Norm Coleman, who suffered his only electoral defeat when Ventura beat him for the governorship in 1998, and Al Franken, the former “Saturday Night Live” comedian running as a Democrat.
“I would think we certainly could do a whole lot better in the state of Minnesota,” Ventura said.
I’d love to see him break up a filibuster on the senate floor.
