That won’t happen this year in the presidential race, as the media loves Obama and McCain is their favorite “Repubmocrat”.

If Jesse does run for president, you can be certain that Minnesota will not make the same mistake twice. (Let's hope the rest of the nation follows suit.)

Not to insult our nice northern neighbors (I have friends in MN!), but what gives?!?

The liberal North Star voters were so exasperated after Ventura, they actually voted in a Republcian adult as his successor--who is now a 2-termer. Ventura governed Minnesota for several years.
