Jesse Ventura…for president!!?? The former wrestler-governor is back and talking politics. Where has he been - and is he really making a run for presidency?

There are too many interesting characters running or possibly running for the POTUS. Ideally I want a Libertarian Party candidate who the Conservatives could support, maybe some Greens, and disenfranchised Democrats and Republicans. Someone with enough prior fame to possibly get into a national debate. I think Bob Barr may be that person. He was in Congress, knows Washington, became disenfranchised with the Republicans and has been in the LP since 2004. He went from a pro drug war / pro prohibition advocate to a MPP lobbyist. Is he a great libertarian? No, but few running are. Ruwart is pretty good but only well known in the libertarian circle. Ventura is known but I don’t believe that he’d have the publicity or be taken as seriously as Barr. We will see.

Speaking of Ruwart, she was on fellow LP candidate Steve Kubby’s radio blog yesterday.
