Let's no get desperate now. > If he wins it will be by grabbing the solid middle and running as a change candidate to ride on Obama’s coattails Obama stopped being the candidate of change weeks ago. Catch up. When your civil liberties are in the trash can and your dollars are in worthless bc of Fed bailouts and the evidence from 9/11 is long gone, who the heck cares about what happened to the towers?! My point is that we may never know what really happened and there are more important issues to deal with. I'm more worried about what they're going to do next and how to reverse this trend. This is a lot of nonsense.

Ventura is an airhead. He’s no Ron Paul. Please. Let’s no get desperate now.

Obama stopped being the candidate of change weeks ago. Catch up.

When your civil liberties are in the trash can and your dollars are in worthless bc of Fed bailouts and the evidence from 9/11 is long gone, who the heck cares about what happened to the towers?!

My point is that we may never know what really happened and there are more important issues to deal with.

I’m more worried about what they’re going to do next and how to reverse this trend.

He has expressed many doubts about the 9/11 official story on the Alex Jones and Howard Stern shows. He has done a lot of research and formed the strongest talking points I have heard out of the 9/11 truth movement yet. darren,

In my experience, I'd say close to 50% of Ron Paul supporters are pro-choice, and a good 1/3 are pro-immigration. It's not about traveling, it's about money. The "radical center" does not give. Ron Paulians do. It is more about image with Ron Paulians. Ventura's image fits the bill. He basically has.

No way. If he wins it will be by grabbing the solid middle and running as a change candidate to ride on Obama's coattails. Hard to see Paul's active supporters motivated to travel to Minnesota for an open borders, pro-choice "radical centrist" who disappointed libertarians and conservatives as governor. Maybe if he said that 9/11 was staged... So Ventura’s winning coalition is a bunch of fringe groups that will make up maybe 10% of the vote? No way.

I still have the feeling that if he'd run, Coleman would win. The last thing the U.S. Senate needs now is Coleman back. But every time I hear him speak, I get a twinge of hope. REAL HOPE! I think with the way he's been putting himself out there, it's now or never. In two years, America will be put to sleep by the Obama Administration. Outrage at little things will be replaced by a good feeling. The nation's ideological streak will begin dying. I don't think he has a choice. Ventura for Senate. Wager?
