ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Just back from his part-time home in Mexico, former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura dangled the idea Friday that he could run for the U.S. presidency in 2016.
Ventura eagerly volunteered the possibility while at Minnesota's Capitol -- and pushed back against skepticism that he would re-enter the political fray after being out of office since 2003. It's hardly the first time the publicity savvy Ventura has broached the idea he would run for the White House or Senate, only to pass on a campaign.
He said the next race is "an opportune time" for an independent like him to run because there will be no incumbent. He said he's approached radio shock jock Howard Stern about being his running mate, and Stern expressed interest.

More like “Ventura/Kardashian 2016”.
he is a scary looking dude...won’t get to first base, more than likely won’t even get up to bat..
strange how these jerks seem to think they are the greatest!!
CLASS, AND CHARACTER STILL MATTER...
Jesse is a selfish, self-promoting, self-absorbed nit-wit. Basically, he’s stupid and fortunate enough to have translated his early military career into wrestling fame and then into politics with the help of an even dumber media. It doesn’t even phase me that this fool would sue Kyle’s widow for cold cash. In his salad days on radio before he launched into his lottery win governorship, he used to brag about the freebies he scammed from promoters and show sponsors. I clearly remember the dolt bragging that he kept a sport jacket loaned to him for a TV appearance.
Money. Honey.
This clown has clearly exceeded his 15 minutes.
This guy has been hit in the head to many times. He also want’s to sue Chris Kyles wife for what Chris said about him in his book American Sniper.
He gets points for that.
Would those two seriously be worse than whats in there now?
Probably
There's a fightin' chance he'd carry Minnesota and take its electoral votes out of the Democratic column.
I was thinking the same thing.
The Republican candidate, Norm Coleman, had been a Democrat until shortly before the campaign and GOPers weren't sure about his bona fides.
Jesse started talking like a conservative, lashing out at the gold plated state government employees payroll and benefits, etc.
Added to this was an unusually large turnout. Blue collar types who had rarely voted in past elections turned out in droves and they bought Jesse's “pissed off at everybody in authority” message.
Then, about six months after he took office, a switch in Jesse's brain went haywire. He came out in favor of the stupid light rail project, among other financial fiascoes.
The zinger came in an interview with a Star Tribune reporter where Jesse threatened to kill the reporter. Even his most ardent supporters had to admit he was nuts.
They may matter to you and FReepers, but have you checked recently who is currently defiling the White House?
The way the country is going, my guess is the ass-wipe and Stern could actually win.
He is suing Chris Kyle’s wife...not wants to.
“I thought his head would be bigger. Look like a peanut!”
Sharpton must have told Jesse how much money he made with a fake-o Presidential campaign.
I thought Jesse was running for the Mexican border.
Wait. Parody???? Are you sure it wasn’t Prophecy?
“Ventura / Stern 2016”
There’s a winning combination. Just the idea that Stern jumped to mind as his VP indicates Jesse’s cheese is slipping off the plate. :-)
Hah, boy, was that ever a slip!
I have to purchase that movie. It ranks up there with “Team America”!
