Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura talked about the Senate Race on National television Monday night.
He told CNN's Larry King he doesn't think Minnesota should be embarassed by the ongoing race. He called the court action, "procedure." He said you have an election that's that a close, you want to make sure you get the right decision.
Ventura went on to call Coleman a hypocrite. "He never does what he says," Ventura said. "He said election night when he won that Franken should drop out and he should be the Senator. Well, then the same should hold true after the recount."
Ventura told Larry King he would not run for public office again, but did say he'd consider another job.
"I would like to put out right now that if relations get good," Ventura said, " I wish President Barack Obama would make me the first ambassador to Cuba, if we get to that point. Because, I met with Fidel Castro when I was there as governor. In fact, Fidel Castro's quote to me -- he looked me in the eyes and said, you're a man of great courage, because you defied your President to come here."
Ventura also says he's now living part of the year in Mexico and dedicating himself to becoming a good surfer.
