Jesse Ventura for Senate?

Here we go again:
Dean Barkley, one of former Gov. Jesse Ventura’s closest political associates, said Wednesday that he thinks Ventura will enter the U.S. Senate race as a third-party candidate next month.
But Barkley emphasized that no one knows what the former governor will wind up doing.
And he said Ventura probably won’t make a decision until right before the deadline for filing for office — 5 p.m. on July 15.
But Barkley said that recent polls — which showed Ventura with the support of a quarter of Minnesota voters in a hypothetical run against Republican Sen. Norm Coleman and DFLer Al Franken — have reinforced their hunch that this could be a good year for a famous third-party candidate with office-holding experience.

A Jesse Ventura Senate Candidacy might add some color to a otherwise tweedle dum vs. cameleon Senate Race.
He is provocative but says things that neither right wing bigots or left wing self serving know it alls don’t like to hear.
I hope he decides to run.
