Sorry to be offensive but he is such a little bitch. Absolutely ridiculous. “But, he adds, he did hide little clues all throughout his book (available at Barnes and Nobles everywhere).” Sorry to be offensive but he is such a little bitch.

Jesse's snits are the most memorable thing about his time as Governor. Seeing him run would be amusing, but only because there is a chance that he would face real media scrutiny this time around.

Of course, that depends on what deadline you mean. Filing to run for election or Armageddon. JohnLLewis, I believe the deadline is next Tuesday. Of course, that depends on what deadline you mean.

I think that heads-up against Coleman, Franken loses anyway, so Ventura running is fine by me. In 98 there wasn't an incumbent which undoubtedly helped Ventura win so this one will be harder but who knows. The Republican brand is shit and if Obama wins by 15 pts anything could happen- you don't even need 40% of the vote to win in a true three way race.

He'll take personal and state embarrassment to a new level with a national stage. Not only do I predict he'll win, but I also predict that he'll initially caucus with the democrats. I also predict after numerous stupid acts of self promotion he'll get pissed and in a knee-jerk reaction will be caucusing with the republicans by the end of his second year. He'll get pissed again and will caucus by himself and call for a unicameral C ongress by the end of year four. Angry white folks in the state of Minnesota and nationwide will be proud that they finally have a champion in Washington. We DFLers only have ourselves to blame. We got cocky after the last election and the poll numbers since and figured we'd really rub salt in the eyes of the GOP by getting Franken elected. Think about it, it would be no different than the GOP in Connecticut thinking they could ram Ann Coulter into the Senate, Limbaugh in Florida, or Hannity/O'Reilly in New York. This one blew-up in our faces. Jesse wouldn't touch this race and the GOP would have cut Norm off from funding if we had an Amy Klobuchar running.
