In the above photo; Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura speaks to the media after appointing Independent Dean Barkley as the senatorial replacement for Paul Wellstone at the governor's office in the state capitol in St. Paul, Minnesota, November 4, 2002.

Barkley ran for U.S. senate as an Independent Party candidate in 1994 and 1996. Wellstone was killed in a plane crash October 25. Ventura expressed anger at the press for ignoring the Independence Party. REUTERS/Eric Miller

"I actually went to a memorial service thinking it would be a memorial service. I will never, ever attend another funeral unless it's held in a church." - Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura quoted in New York Times (Nov. 4, 2002) after he departed early from a Democratic Party political rally advertised as a memorial service for Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone. --- Then Ventura appointed Dean Barkely to replace Wellstone.

Ventura wanted Barkely to be in the Monday debate with Mondale and Coleman. Right now, Governor Ventura and his staff, and the Secretary of State are trying to figure out if Dean Barkely will serve Minnesota in the Senate for just a couple of weeks, or until January with the start of a new legislative session.

I just found out today that in Minnesota, voters can register at their polling place, then step into the voting booth.

That's good Commander8!

Keeps you sharp. Gives you an edge.

Why did you pick Jesse Ventura's photo to tack on your vent?
