Comment: Well at least he's not a lawyer...

If disenchantment turns to anger and then anger turns to rage by 2016, and if people are so fed up, he does have a very real chance.

During his tenure at Governor, he did an above average job in Minnesota. That makes him more qualified than any community organizer or someone who knows little about real business, but knows how to play monopoly really well.

He's had a colorful past but that shouldn't matter when comparing him to others who are just smooth criminals.

For someone like Jesse to win, there would have to be a severe crack in the foundation in every American's life, like mandatory RFID implant chips, or everybody's 401k failing, that will wake people up.
