There is a cautionary tale here for those who will listen. I know so many friends both democrats and republicans who voted for Jesse Ventura because it felt do darned good to vote for someone who was willing to call out the politicians. He was loud and rude and bombastic and the professional politicians didn't know how to handle him. Minnesota elected a mouthy celebrity because it felt so good to let the politicians have in spades.

People who had never voted before came out of the woodwork to vote for their favorite celeb, and Humphrey came in a sad third. Those were interesting times.

People talk about how odd this presidential election is; to Minnesotans it is eerily familiar.
