Introducing Senator Jesse Ventura
With the death of Senator Paul Wellstone (D-MN), the Senate race just got extremely messy. I'm now holding out hope that the following scenerio plays out and makes a complete mockery of our election system: Wellstone's name remains on the ballot and liberals flock to the polls to honor him and he wins the seat. The Governor of Minnesota - Jesse Ventura - then gets to pick an 'interim' Senator. Jesse then steps down as Governor (this was his idea), and his Lt. Governor becomes the state's first female Governor. As a thanks for this honor, the new Governor of Minnesota then appoints none other than ... wait for it ... Jesse Ventura as Minnesota's new Senator. We can only hope.
