    Ron Paul folks add 'Rally' attraction: Jesse Ventura

    By Doug Grow | Published Fri, Aug 1 2008 8:13 am

    Jesse Ventura's not quite gone from the political stage. Ventura will speak at Ron Paul's big (perhaps) "Rally for the Republic'' event at the Target Center on Sept. 2, the second day of the Republican Convention. Paul made the announcement Thursday in what sounded a lot like a plea for people to come to buy tickets – at $17.76.

    When the rally was announced, Paul supporters said they expected a crowd of 20,000 people for a day of speeches and entertainers. Paul said Wednesday that "we have half the number of people signed up. ...So many have made projections, we don't want to disappoint.'' Paul presumed that Ventura would "be a good draw.''

    Apparently, Paul's not totally convinced of that. In the Paul announcement, Ventura shared billing with country music singer Rockie Lynne.
