"Ventura says he could upset presidential race" startribune.com Published Monday, May 29, 2000 People: Ventura says he could upset presidential race Gov. Jesse Ventura says he's the only politician in the country who could stage a presidential upset in November, even though he's not a candidate and has no desire to live in Washington. "I still believe strongly that I could walk in and steal this election at the 11th hour," he told Newsweek magazine for its June 5 edition. He complained that Vice President Al Gore and Texas Gov. George W. Bush are too cautious and "over-spun" to snag the independent vote that was cut loose when Sen. John McCain withdrew from the GOP race. "The vice president I see on TV now -- I do double takes, because that ain't the one I seen at dinner," he said of Gore, who has had Ventura as a guest at the vice presidential residence. "You know, the one I seen at dinner is a very intelligent man, animated, highly emotional. And yet the one I see on TV is drier than toast." Ventura said that during a recent trip to Chicago, "It was sort of scary, how many people were begging me to run," adding that he'd rather visit Washington than live there.
