Former Gov. Jesse Ventura said Tuesday that he would consider running for president in 2012.

Speaking at a Ron Paul event at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Ventura told the crowd that he intends to watch events between now and the next election, and decide whether the momentum nonpartisan activists build would make the run "worth it.''

"I wrote the book, 'Don't Start the Revolution Without Me!'" Ventura said. "Well, I'm here. Let's get the revolution going.''

Ventura, who this year mulled an independent run for the U.S. Senate seat held by Norm Coleman, didn't say whether he would seek the nomination of a specific party.

"If I see it in 2012, we'll give them a race they'll never forget,'' Ventura said.

Thousands of Paul's supporters who attended the "Rally for the Republic" event stood in applause and cheered loudly. Ventura made the surprise announcement after a 20-minute speech blasting Republicans and Democrats, criticizing border fences and supporting the right to bear arms.

2. please God in name of all that is holy make it not so.

there are few people in the public arena today who are so impossibly self-centered , selfish and self-serving.
he cares for himself and nobody else.

and the press?? for all his claimed hatred of the press....he loves the press. without the press, he'd wither and die.

a presidential run would mock EVERYTHING decent.

3. He Doesn't Hate The Entire Press

Just the Minnesota press. They won't bend over and kiss his ass like Grandpa Larry King does.
