Jesse: I could be the “None of the Above” candidate

Jesse Ventura said on MPR's Midday that he's "thinking about running for the U.S. Senate." He called GOP Sen. Norm Coleman a "Chickenhawk" for voting to go to war but not going to war when he could have.

He called Democrat Al Franken a "Carpetbagger" and ripped him for not paying taxes in other states.

Ventura said he may put his name on the ballot as a "None of the Above" candidate. He added later on:

"I'm not saying I will or won't."
