Asks Adam Ricketson of Freedom Democrats, a blog for libertarian Democrats: "Jesse Ventura is considering a run for the Senate in Minnesota, against GOP incumbent Norm Coleman and DFL candidate Al Franken. I'd be happy to see him run (and win). Franken seems well on the way to having is butt kicked by Coleman, while Ventura would start off with ~25% support were he to run. Ventura would be a good ally with the Democrats on the big issues for the next Congress--the war and government secrecy. From a distance, I've gained some admiration for Ventura, while Franken has never established himself as a serious politician in my eyes....but maybe Minnesotans have a different opinion."

The polls don't bear this out, though. According to the polls I saw, Coleman actually does better with both Ventura and Franken as his opponents than he just does against Franken, but he wins either way.
