Jesse Ventura endorses Kerry Updated: 10/22/2004 06:00:30 PM - VIDEO

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 Governor 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.

That's OK. I've heard Sargent Slaughter endorses President Bush.

His real name was James Janos. I knew him when he was a 3rd class petty officer in UDT.

He was an idiot then, and now.

Incompetence endorsing insufference--like the pot calling the kettle "black", what's wrong with this picture? Nothing, if you're a Democrat.

Some media reporting the truth. Ventura just stood there and never said a single word. Just pointed to the guy who made the announcement and left.

Sorry I don't know how to post a photo but go to "www.kstp.com" to see Jesse's photo, which one of the radio stations described as his "street person attire." I love the braided beard. This guy is nuts, always has been.

Jesse's a libertarian?

Only a communitarian whack-job could claim that ... pretty easy to figure out.

By the way, who is Perot endorsing this year?

I wonder if there are really are thinking people in Minnie-sota.......

Umm.. Yes. There "Are really are," as a person of your obvious intellectual pedigree might put it.

A person of a slightly higher (no offense) intellectual pedigree, might look into why Mr. Ventura chose not to seek re-election, and why his successor is Republican, and why the Republican he defeated for the governorship now sits in the U. S. Senate.

I heard this on the news...they said Ventura never said a single word! They said the govenor of Maine made the announcement that Ventura was endorsing kerri and when the media asked him about it all Ventura did was nod in the direction of the Maine govenor...it seemed quite bizarre the way they made it out.

This does sound really wierd.

The former Minnesota Governor was there, but did not make any comments.

When has Ventura every been shy about talking to the camera?
