#3 Norm Coleman is a pretty good Senator (glad I voted for him), but is a rather traditional politician. I've become less impressed by "traditional politicians" as I've gotten older ... but, it's funny how mature and "regular guy" Norm looks when stacked up against Franken and Ventura. Whether the Body runs or not, I think MN will give Norm another term.

(For the record, I voted for Ventura for Gov back in the day as well ... he ran a great "not politics as usual" and gave clear, straight answers back then and had a pretty good first and second year as Govenor ... and then things got weird. :-/)

#5 Ventura Repossessed?

"Try the kool-aid. That stuff will make you a g*ddmn'd political Tyranosaur. Just like me."

I thought he said he was going to leave the country?

#9 OS - looks like it keeps things status quo - Coleman stays up on frankenstein by 8-10 points w/or w/out the body in the race.

BTW - venture repeatedly talks about his time in the seals and supposedly said he spent time in 'nam doing "black ops". Though I don't doubt he was a seal the second assertion makes me wonder.

#10 He was UDT, not SEAL from what I heard years ago from a SEAL, who was pretty unhappy with the misrepresentation thing.

SO he pulls the ron paul nutters in away from the GOP, and the anti-war lefties from the Dems.

Introduces an intreseting dynamic into the Presidential race though - splitting a ticket becomes much more possible and may pull enough Dems away from Obama to let McCain sneak in.
