Jesse’s In

Posted By Erica M On July 9, 2008 @ 9:27 am In News, Politics | Comments Disabled

Jesse Ventura can pretty much go first name only these days. At least in Minnesota.

So he’s officially entering the Senate race ^[1], pitting himself against Norm Coleman and Al Franken.

I’m officially ambivalent. On the one hand, I’m all for more options to choose from. On the other hand, what a fucking spectacle (and I suspect Norm Coleman will be the benefactor of it all).

We officially have the most ridiculous senate race ever.

(via @solace ^[2])

UPDATE: Okay, maybe not. ^[3] I wouldn’t put it past him, though. Next Tuesday is the filing deadline. Man, everyone ran quick with that one. Interestingly, now the story is the coverage ^[4] (i.e., ABC News’ initial interpretation of Jesse’s comments).
