ST. PAUL - Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura has officially endorsed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry.

The announcement was made during a 30-minute news conference at the State Office Building. The former Minnesota was there, but did not make any comments.

Just days ago, Ventura had said that he did not plan to support Kerry or President Bush this election year.

Also at the news conference was former Maine Gov. Angus King, who was the only other third-party governor during Ventura's years in office. He said Ventura changed his mind and decided to endorse Kerry.

Organizers didn't even know Ventura was going to show up until the news conference started. He told reporters who followed him out to his car afterward that he'll be doing interviews in Los Angeles.

You're a great Californian, Wolfstar, even if you don't live in the despicable Schwarzenrenegger's Sierra-Nevada CONservancy like I now have to... (spit!)

this is the guy who whines about no privacy ,but has
a giant gate to his ranch road with sign above "Ventura
Highway"...

[Rakkasan1]

to his credit, he walked out of the "memorial" circus
during the pep fest he was so disgusted.

too many boots to the head.

Hello,

Welll...we (not me specifically) voted in a dead guy. A toss-up?

Glad to be here, MOgirl

[Rakkasan1]

I got the red x from hell

I have driven past his residence. He does have a large "Support the Troops" sign on the security gate (good), but he also has a day-glo green sign saying "Ventura Highway" (narsisistic) nailed to a tree on the driveway.

What a ringer of an endorsement. Didn't say a word in St. Paul, but says he'll comment in Los Angeles?
Is that offensive to Minnesotans, or what? Can you say, "backfire?"

[highlandbreeze]

OHhhh my.....

[Wolfstar]

Thanks for your very kind comments, SierraWasp. I'm hoping Arnold doesn't bother to run again. He opportunistically jumped into the recall because he knew it would be an easy campaign. No primary, so he didn't have to try to woo Republican voters all that much. Maybe the prospect of facing a primary might deter him from running again.

[intolerancewillNOTbetolerated]

Jesse who??

[MaryFromMichigan]

If, by OHhhh my..... you mean thank you, you're welcome!

Just doing my bit to keep our fellow freeper-ette Marmar happy. :)

[highlandbreeze]

Yes, that was my way of saying thank you. Had trouble putting my tongue back in my mouth.

;-P

"I ain't got time to bleed!"

It's funny how sometimes we can equate characters in a movie to how people are in real life. They're not, of course, as this endorsement clearly demonstrates. It's just hard to imagine ultra he-man Blaine voting for a pansy like Effin.

When I first glanced at it, I thought that he was dressed up for some kind of civil war re-enactment. Really, the beard looks fake.

[SierraWasp]

No problemo... My best to the Wolfstarman from the Wasperman!!!

[NotchJohnson]

MN had buyers remorse with him in less than 6 months after he was elected. He had a "less government" mantra that went as far as the mantra. He was all show and MN fell for it.

More of our Minnesota embarrassment revealed....

Uffda!
