Jesse Ventura is hinting at a run [1] to be the US Senator from Minnesota this fall. Only problem, there is already an eccentric and popular personality with his hat in the ring — satirist Al Franken!

Let's compare credentials. Franken has worked on Saturday Night Live, and written books like Lies and the Liars Who Tell Them. He is also a pioneer [2] of progressive talk radio.

Jesse "The Body" Ventura is a former governor [3] of Minnesota, Navy veteran, and radio and TV host. Oh and don't forget — he's also a veteran of professional wrestling.

Who would you like to see in the Senate — the wrestler or the comedian? Are both skills equally suited to Congress?
