Ventura will not run for Senate
Well, that was a nice way for Jesse Ventura to get his PR fix. Tonight, he told Larry King that he won't run for Senate in Minnesota. An "agonizing" decision, he said, but he did not want his family to be hurt by intense media scrutiny.

2. I think he has a strong anti-predator agenda.
So far neither candiate has come down hard on aliens hunting humans for sport.

5. I don't like the looks of that Coleman graph.
I used to live in MN and wish he would just disappear from politics.

6. maybe he gets credit for bringing the Republicans to St Paul

Oddly it is commonly understood in San Diego that the city's pension problems actually go back to when they had the Republican convention here and accomodations made for that budget ended up gutting the city's pension system and costing the city billions.
