Below is an email that went out to Republican supporters to make sure Jesse doesn't run for Senate. The conventional wisdom was always that Jesse hurt Dems more than Republicans, but in a race that is likely to be close, I guess neither side wants a wildcard. I can't wait to talk to Jesse about this, we have an interview scheduled soon...
| Dear Supporters,  Just when you thought the 2008 campaign couldn’t get more unpredictable, Former Governor and professional wrestler Jesse Ventura says that he has not ruled out running for senate –and we need your help to make sure that doesn’t happen. Ventura alluded to a possible run while promoting his latest book, and spreading his radical view that the government is covering up the real cause of the collapse of the World Trade Center in 2001 and that the CIA is conspiring to keep him out of power. It is patriotic and responsible Minnesotans like you, not the CIA, who will keep Ventura and the leftist Democrat candidate Al Franken out of the United States Senate. Please make a contribution to the Minnesota Republican Party today, to ensure that we have the necessary resources to keep our senate seat safe. Minnesota cannot afford to relive the mistakes of the Ventura administration. The Former Governor’s legacy includes major tax increase proposals and major embarrassments. Results which blatantly contradicted campaign promises to lower taxes and decrease the size of governemnt. Please make your donation today to make sure that true fiscal conservatives represent Minnesota in Washington. Thank you for your support. Sincerely, Ron Carey Chairman Minnesota Republican Party P.S. Please make your most generous donation today to help us defend our senate seat from radicals like Al Franken and Jesse Ventura. Thank you!
