Ventura: Will he or won’t he?
March 14, 12:53 AM
To hear Jesse Ventura tell it, he’s either out to become president or an expatriate.
In the opening to his fourth book, due out April 1, the former wrestler and governor of Minnesota writes: “As I begin to write this book, I’m facing probably the most monumental decision of my 56 years on this planet. Will I run for president of the United States, as an independent, in 2008? Or will I stay as far away from the fray as possible, in a place with no electricity, on a remote beach in Mexico?â€

Throughout the book, called “Don’t Start the Revolution Without Me!,†Ventura seems to go back and forth on the question, pro and con:
Pro: “My outrage knows few bounds. … I can’t live with this apathy. I can’t tell myself it’s not happening.â€
Con: “Psychologically, I need to break away from the United States. I also felt it was time in my life to go on an adventure. … And I found that, even in the 21st century, you can still be something of a Kit Carson,†the renowned 19th-century frontiersman.
Pro: He details a conversation he had in Mexico with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about running together on an independent, third-party ticket.
Con: His wife, Terry, says she refuses to be first lady of anything again.
Pro: WWE Wrestling Chairman Vince McMahon told Ventura he’d back his bid “100 percent, with everything I’ve got.â€
Con: The epilogue of the book imagines eight months of 2008 headlines, as Ventura decides to run on a “WWE independent ticket.†Ventura envisions “shoving McMahon off to the side†and announcing his candidacy before 70,000 fans at the 24th annual WrestleMania. Which must mean he can’t be serious.
This election could become a battle royal. Repub, Dem, and an endless number of independents.

do the Dems need the votes split any more? I cant imagine America would put up with that. Canadian politics has five parties and nobody ever gets the majority votes, so you've always got the parties squabbling after a major election as to who was truly the winner.
if yet another Dem/Independant enters, or talks about entering, maybe we should just cancel the whole thing til the other side can get their act together.. :-)
