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.
JESSIE VENTURA SPORTING HIS NEW HOMELESS SHELTER LOOK
I'm from California, also, and WILL NOT vote for Arnold if he runs for reelection. If a politician wants me to be loyal to him, he's first got to be loyal to grassroots Republicans like me. He isn't.
Great....a press release from the Fake Warrior Society....they gotta stick togeather in order to stick it to America.
Stay Safe .....
Didn't he lose his mind long before thiws latest outburst?
The truth is he failed as Givernor in MN and the party that benefitted was the GOP. This has made him a really unhappy camper. I think you have to consider all of that when you process this lame endorsement.
You nailed this liberal pretending to be a conservative like so many others the past 4 years:
"I kept telling him Jesse was a plain old Democrat pretending to be something else because the Democrat spot was already taken. Before he left office, he showed his true colors."
O'Reilly is another pseudo conservative.
I just have to shake my head here in Brooklyn Center....This will be the talk around here for about a day, & that's it. I heard that he has a hugh privacy fence around his new property, then has a highway-type sign that says VENTURA BLVD on it. Go figure.
Kerry was in Nam?
I can't say that I have ever had much respect for "the Body". I thought it was great when he upset the establishment for the governor's job. He seemed to talk a good game.
Whatever respect he achieved in my mind is now gone.
Jeb Bush hurt Ventura's feelings bad when Ventura went to Cuba to meet his hero Castro a couple of years ago.
It really is that simple. Ventura really is that simple.
Ventura's 15 came to an end long ago.
Ventura looks loonier with hair than without it. I guess he hit his head one too many times in the ring.
Nobody pays attention to this nebish anyway, except maybe people who listen to Babs Streisand, etc.
There are other politicians/actors/athletes that won't say diddly about anything except in double speak.
He's wrong on this one though.
bump for further reading! Wow - there are some real sports heavyweights on that list.
Post #91...Thanx Mary..........
I'm not stalking you or anything, but I was just going to post the same thing! I think this is good news, actually. Heck, I remember when his kid threw a huge party in the Governor's Mansion and his wife did something that drove the media nuts!
Carry on....
Thinking is difficult for one who has jumped off the ropes too often and landed on their head.

Jesse the Jackass Ventura. Wonderful. He's so freaking relevant to the current political scene. Not.
That's OK. Nature Boy Ric Flair is on our side.
That's what the link says-----"The Former Minnesota". LOL I always believed he was a vacuous peasant, and he does dress like one now.
Not surprising.
