| Description | MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota already has a comedian running for Senate. So why not its most famous former pro wrestler? In an interview Monday with The Associated Press, former Reform Party Gov. Jesse Ventura said there's nothing that could get him back into politics. But then he kept talking:
"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. |
