Mike;

I had not considered this previously but it just hit me! Remember the movie Predator? We have Jesse and Arnold as State Governors. I wonder if the rest of the cast will run for State governor?

It is a smart man who does not seek reelection! The system is corrupt and anyone who is idyllic thinking they can change what has taken centuries to establish will meet reality head on. Holding political office seems like an exercise in frustration for anyone who truly wants to bring positive change.

How do you see Jesse Ventura as Governor? We heard a few things from the media but not much. He seemed to speak his mind and to be his own man. That could create problems with the "establishment"!
