Ventura seemed like a good libertarian to me. He'd probably make a better president than any Democrat or most Republicans.
Ventura was not a liberatarian, but rather a libertine who was somewhat fiscally liberal.
Minnesota was tired of his antics and has a results his polling numbers in 02 was below 40%. The main reason he did not run again for governor.
I have to agree with you. Ventura paraded himself as a libertarian, but didn't govern as one. He may have had a chance in a 3-way race in 2002, but my vote and the victory still would have gone with Pawlenty I believe.
