Jesse Ventura became Gov of MN after I left that state . . . and yes, they COULD have done much worse, and by most accounts they already have. I'd take him in a heartbeat if offered as a trade for Obama.
But for POTUS, he wouldn't be my first choice. Or second. Or third. Or fourth. Or . . . you know, I can keep this train going for quite a while. But even Jesse would raise the bar for the Oval Office from where it's at now.
Suing a dead man's widow over what was written in a book that doesn't name him based on the author's verbal comments . . . is low. REALLY low. And pretty stupid, since it serves only to draw attention to the issue . . .
