"The Body" Becomes Governor (1999)
Manage episode 316623214 series 2642812
It’s January 4th. This day in 1999, former wrestler Jesse Ventura is sworn in as Governor of Minnesota.
Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss “The Body’s” improbable and surprisingly-substantive third-party campaign, and how he was able to capture the media’s attention to sneak through to victory. Plus, what happened when his bombastic style came up against the much more boring work of governing.
