The Twin Cities PBS affiliate (Minneapolis/Saint Paul) made an EXCELLENT documentary that they just released called "Jesse Ventura Shocks the World!" about Ventura's stunning election in 1998 as Governor of Minnesota. I'm always happy to praise the work of public television, but they did such a great job in making this awesome documentary and I hope that people outside of Minnesota will take the time to check it out.

Ventura's election as Governor was revolutionary and it could have and should have been a big step in the establishment of a viable third political party on a national level, but the Reform Party could never get it's act together and Ventura's victory ended up being the party's high point. Ventura got so fed up with the infighting and various factions of the Reform Party that he actually quit the party halfway through his single term as Governor. Frustrated with the toll that the job was having on his family, Ventura chose not to seek re-election in 2002.

What the documentary from Twin Cities Public Television does best is show the absolutely brilliant campaign that Jesse Ventura ran against two opponents from the two major parties who were about as strong and qualified as it got for candidates for high office in Minnesota at the time. The Democratic nominee, Skip Humphrey, had been Minnesota's Attorney General for 16 years and had been one of the most popular and successful politicians in the state for well over a decade. He also just happened to be the son of longtime U.S. Senator and former Vice President Hubert Humphrey. The Republican nominee, Norm Coleman, was the Mayor of Saint Paul where he was popular for bringing an NHL team back to the Twin Cities. But Ventura's campaign manager, Dean Barkley, helped put together an incredible campaign that used every bit of Ventura's charisma and star power while registering new voters and getting others to the polls who might otherwise have stayed home had they not been intrigued by how different Ventura was. Ventura also did a fantastic job debating Humphrey and Coleman, and was incredible as a retail campaigner, hitting as many colleges and small towns throughout the state as possible.

But best of all were the television ads for Ventura created by Bill Hillsman, which remain among the most creative and effective political ads ever made at ANY level of politics. These included a faux action figure commercial where a Jesse Ventura action figure battles "special interests man" and the personification of "politics as usual". It's an absolutely genius political ad and was perfect for Ventura's personality and the political role he needed to play in order to win a three-way race against two tough, major-party opponents. Hillsman also created an ad called "Jesse the Mind" where Ventura was posing like Rodin's The Thinker sculpture as a voiceover explained that he wasn't just a former professional wrestler but had a wide variety of unique life experiences that made him different than traditional career politicians like Humphrey and Coleman.

"Jesse Ventura Shocks the World!" is awesome and a fascinating look at a remarkable moment in political history. It also points out how Governor Ventura led the way for Governor Schwarzenegger and President Trump, although Ventura adamantly disagrees with who Trump -- who was once a friend and potential political ally of Ventura's when Trump was teasing running for office in the late-90s -- has become and is disgusted by his impact on the country. The documentary also raises questions about what Ventura could have done (and how far he could have gone) had he not grown so frustrated with his role and with the media's coverage while he was Governor. Watching the documentary makes you think about what could have been had Ventura not turned into such a -- and excuse me for using such a scholarly phrase from political science: batshit crazy weirdo conspiracy theorist.

Still, check out the documentary, "Jesse Ventura Shocks the World!", and big shout-out to the folks at Twin Cities PBS/Twin Cities Public Television for making such an entertaining and interesting -- and really fun! -- look at a genuinely remarkable political figure.
