Well, Jesse Ventura did exactly what he said he would. We just forgot to ask him about the other things he would do. His election does show how a once a year big money tax (vehicle registration) will irritate the heck out of people. It also goes to show that the big two parties are not invulnerable in state-wide elections.
I am actually more embarrassed we elected (I have moved since) Amy Klobuchar. Sen Amy Klobuchar seems to be a media company rep (check all the bills discussed on HN and who co-sponsored them).
As a Minnesotan I still suffer the shame of electing Jesse Ventura, but at least we're not the state that said "no" to free education - yet.
