4. He'll run as an independent

Don't know the democrat and republican opponents but on the cnn interview with Wolf he's leaving that option open. He has til July to register as a nominee. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iATEVLMOTMk

7. That is his 'Party'

I was wondering who the Democrat was going to be. Would I vote for Jesse the-(fill in the blank)- Ventura if I had the opportunity? Doubtful but perhaps. It would depend on who the Dem was he ran against. HRC has shown me that some Dems are not truly Dems. Lieberman demonstrated that as well earlier. I confess to being attracted to Ventura's honest "Maverickness" but there are a lot of things I do not like about him too. The fact that he has hidden himself away in rural Mexico for many years now demonstrates to me a lack of desire to work for America. Maybe he should run for the job of Mayor in his new home town down in Mexico.

13. Thanks. Now my answer is NO, I would NOT vote for Ventura!

Coleman (R-ASSHOLE), is a VERY accurate observation imo. I am still quite fond of the dressing down he got from a Mr. Galloway a couple of years back. Coleman was chair of an oversight commission and reminded me of a parody of a grand inquisitor from the Spanish Inquisition era. The sad thing was that this was no parody and worse, the inquisitor was an American! Galloway tore him up pretty well, much to the delight of the few DUers who watched the 'hearings' live on C-Span!

3. He did that already, and he sucked at it.

But I thought he was talking about running for the U.S. Senate. In any event, he'd suck at that, too. Jesse is entertaining; he's a good radio talk show host. But a public servant... not so much.
