Dean Barkley - one of the hands that controlled the wires attached to former governor DFL-lite sock-puppet Jesse Ventura - might just run to get “his” Senate seat back:
Dean Barkley, who briefly served in the Senate himself, said this morning that he plans to file for the office this afternoon as an Independence Party candidate.
That is, assuming Ventura sticks to his announcement Monday night that he’s not running, a statement he made with the qualifier that he’ll change his mind if God speaks to him.
“Just knowing him, he still might show up,” Barkley said. “That’s Ventura — anyone who’s been around him awhile knows he never says anything without thinking it through. You can be sure he thought that line through.”
Just like you can be sure he was his own man as governor.
Go, Dean! Go!
