Ventura U.S. Senate speculation

Jesse Ventura is toying with the idea of running for the U.S. Senate in his native Minnesota against incumbent Republican Sen. Norm Coleman and his top challenger Al Franken.

On one hand this is more plausible than the presidential campaign rumors we heard last week, but on the other I can’t help but think this is still part of his new book’s marketing campaign.

Everyone in Minnesota has learned not to dismiss Jesse Ventura like we did in early 1998. Objectively, I don’t see a clear path for a Ventura victory. However, 2008 is a change year and Coleman and Franken both have high negatives. That was the witches brew that gave us Gov. Ventura ten years ago. I’m still in with my man Franken, but let’s keep an eye on this.
