I supported him and liked him as governor. And I still like him. He must know something about economics. During his time as governor, was the only time that I know of that our state had a surplus of money and we all got a tax rebate check in the mail. And no it wasn't like Bush's stimulus checks that came from money printed out of thin air.

I don't understand all the Ventura hate. He would totally have a better chance as 3rd party than any of these current bozos. Probably even a better chance than RP had as a Republican.

he's probably the only 3rd party candidate who would actually have a chance of winning the presidency seeing how he won 10 years ago in Minnesota. He'll reform the electoral process, that should be the priority to save the country. Plus who knows, maybe he'll bring ron and other honest politicians on his administration.

These dogmatic liberaltarians are so politically inept its frightening. Don't worry, maybe the less intellectual common man will be enough to put Ventura in the white house. (I'm a huge Austrian Economics fan by the way, but libertarians can come off so snotty and nerdy at times its sickening-->see lew rockwell's speech where he tells us to stop calling ourselves conservative when our main argument against republicans is that we are the REAL conservatives since day one of this movement).

He supported liberty more than any other gov in MN. You know Ventura was pretty much shut down in all he tried to do, right? I've never seen Democrats and Republicans (and media) so united as when Ventura was governor and they shut him down.

Source? I'm in MN, and everybody I know liked Ventura, still like him, and would love to see him as prez. Maybe you are just remembering what the media said about him? Ron Paul isn't the only politician who has been a target of the media. They lied and misquoted Ventura a lot.

If you think he's dumb, then he's probably smarter than you. It was his JOB for a long time to act as the stupid bad guy in pro wrestling. He was very good at it, and still is. People love to hear him talk, and the media can't ignore him. He probably got as much as, if not more, press coverage from the Rally For The Republic than Ron Paul did.

Ventura has a unique ability of taking a heavy topic and dumbing it down for the general public so they understand what the hell he's talking about. With Ron Paul, on the other hand, most people are just too ignorant and apathetic to try to understand what he's talking about and will just turn the channel instead.

Ventura also had some very good campaign people. He campaigned on a low budget, but had campaign ads that made Ron Paul's campaign ads look like shit. He has a lot of Hollywood friends that he could get help from as well.

Ventura definitely ain't no Ron Paul when it comes to economics and other issues... But imagine for a moment if Ventura took the time to learn, and had Ron Paul to help him. I think Ventura's the best chance for 2012. I don't see any other potential candidate going farther than Ron Paul did this year.
 
My Super 8 shuttle driver in Minneapolis said he really liked Ventura as Governor, and he told me about the budget surplus rebate checks.

Yeah, Dems and Reps were equally pissed off when Ventura gave their tax surplus back to the people who paid it.
 
Signatures are unimportant. Ballot access is the only thing he is going to look at when he gets ready to run.
 
libertythor,

He will not announce until he is sure he can get ballot access. If you want to vote for Barr...start petitioning in states where you can, and gather volunteers in the states where you cant.

I'll never understand why people like him so much. His speech at the convention was lame and self serving, and he reeks of "moderate" republicanism.

You've got to be kidding me. He vetoed more than all other 49 states combined and he worked to limit the governor's... his own... power. =) I'm sure he's no Ron Paul 100%, but I'm also sure he's far more libertarian than Ventura. He also said end the Fed.
 
What we need is some kind of signed "Letter to Jesse Ventura" telling him if he learns and adopts Ron Paul's policies, he's got support. I think he'd have a decent chance of winning just by throwing his hat in the ring, but if he knew the issues like Ron Paul, he'd have a huge grassroots right from the start. He definitely has some learning to do before most RP supporters will accept him.

Vetoes=sign of combative relationship with legislature. Clinton had more vetoes than most presidents, Doesn't make him a libertarian.

I guess my biggest peeve was his boring "resume" style speech.
 
I agree that Gov. Johnson is mostly uninspiring---but he seems to be pretty solid, he endorsed Paul and Paul has said he likes him. Remember, Republican voters LOVE boring candidates.

I prefer a movement to draft Rep. Goldwater,personally.
