Jesse Ventura may run for senate
Either “The Body” or his former campaign manager will run for US senate. This is the seat that SNL comedian Al Franken is the Democratic candidate for. Jesse’s former campaign manager is currently a bus driver and gardner.
KARE11: Former Gov. Jesse Ventura said he “may” file the necessary papers to run for the U.S. Senate in the November election. If he doesn’t, his former campaign manager will.
Both are hinting at a run against Republican incumbent Norm Coleman and likely Democratic candidate Al Franken this fall. The only question seems to be: Will it be Ventura, or the man who helped him become governor? Ventura’s former campaign manager, Dean Barkley, now works as a bus driver and gardens as a hobby. “Ear to the dirt, listening to the pulse of the people,” he joked Thursday.
