Things have become pretty quit it seems. If he's not going to run for President, can we at least get an endorsement for Ron Paul? Any ideas how to contact him?
Whatever happened to Jesse Ventura?

He was on Jay Leno tonight. Mentioned he might run for senator in Minn. I like most of what he says. Common sense. I would like to hear him endorse RP.
He was just around to promote his book. He won't endorse anyone for president if the person is a Democrat or a Republican. If we see anything about him it will be him running for senate in Minnesota. He hinted at it but hasn't decided whether to do it or not. He has a little while before the filing deadline.
He says he lives in Mexico during the colder half of the year and in Minnesota in the warmer half. He has houses in both places.

I think he'll run for senate against Norm Coleman and Al Franken. He'll get quite a bit of national coverage, he will win, and it will set him up nicely for a presidential run in 2012.

That's exactly what i think he should do.
Unfortunately, like Jesse claims in his book, it's probably not possible for someone with his positions to get too close to the whitehouse without getting assassinated.

I was laughing at this thinking it was about RP, but then read the title.

Ventura has mentioned several times he might jump into the MN Senate race. I hope he does, he's the closest thing to a Ron Paul Republican or Libertarian we can get here. He also defeated Norm Coleman in the Governor's race, so it would be doubly painful for the Senator to lose his seat to Ventura...
I'm not shy in saying I'll be happy to step up and help Ventura's campaign for Senate, should it be launched. Imagine if we get both Murray Sabrin and Jesse Ventura into the Senate. Ventura doesn't quite match up with us 100% on some issues, but it would be fair to say their presence would mean at least two Senators whom Ron Paul could work with on most things as President or Congressman.

And you have what evidence to support this? The uninformed observer could almost make the same claim about Ron Paul's book since it's doing so well. Just because Ventura doesn't want to run for President this time is no reason to mark him up as some kind of crook. I believe he will run for Senate, which is probably the smart choice this year, and the one most likely to put him back in office.
I've had my suspicions since he first popped up at an opportune moment with an opportunistically titled book. It had recently been demonstrated that a whole lot of people were willing to spend a whole lot of money to support a so-called revolution, and then out of nowhere comes Ventura with his book "Don't Start the Revolution Without Me." I'm just connecting the dots. The difference between RP and Ventura is that RP was the catatlyst for the revolution.

It isn't as though we have any trademark on Revolution. I see what you mean about the timing, but I've heard Ventura was trying to get the book published for about a year. He had to go through over twenty publishers before one finally picked it up. Even as an obvious moneymaker, the media forces did not want to give him a popular outlet.
Also, Ventura was muzzled by a MSNBC contract from appearing on television for interviews for the last three years. It only makes sense that the book would come out at a time when he is actually able to legally appear on TV again to talk about it without violating the contract he became entangled in.
I'm not even sure Ventura wants to be the catalyst for revolution. He is just one more voice. He should be treated as an ally, since he does still have quite a bit of name recognition. Ron Paul's was not built on a national level until 2007. Ventura, on the other hand, carries at least vague memory with many voters due to his national media appearances as a third party Governor.

It's also worth noting his earlier publications were called "I Ain't Got Time to Bleed" and "Do I Stand Alone?" Is "Don't Start the Revolution Without Me!" really so far out from earlier titles to signify pure money lust?
Unless RP removes the R next to his name it is highly HIGHLY unlikely Jesse would ever throw an endorsement Paul's way.

This is a start...
Chipping away at the "Political Rock of Gibraltar" one politician at a time. I hope Jesse Ventura runs for Minnesota's US Senate seat.
The more voices on the floor to hear the truth and the more words about all the back room deals, will expose the Corrupt Congress. Then what the slimy politicians change they image and votes.
