“Would the state that elected Jesse Ventura also elect Al Franken? I hate to say it, but I think they might”
Must be all those dang Norwegian bachelor farmers.
No, I think the problem in Minnesota is the esconced DFL (Democratic Farm Labor) party that was in rule for so long, Humphrey/Mondale/McCarthy but at least Humphrey probably had a rather conventional agenda. There are a lot of people that will vote Democratic because that party was for so long a part of the political landscape.
Jesse? He had a radio show and he spoke up libertarian issues like the right to bear arms if I remember correctly, I would never vote for him but it’s not difficult to see where he was coming from.
Ow, though not Al!
