I agree. It was inspiring, the way he organized a grassroots movement to win the Minnesota governorship-no lobbysists required. He is anti-war and anti-NSA, and OnTheIssues characterizes him as a progressive libertarian-he could unite the left and the right. He could have attempted to retain the governorship for a second term-he had sufficient support in polls to make it plauible-but he accused the media of harassing his family to the point that he had to give it up. Anyway, I'm somewhat disappointed that the writer slammed Ventura, an ordinary guy who shares many of our beliefs and successfully challenged the American establishment.
