Who says Jesse ''The Body'' Ventura isn't qualified to be Minnesota governor? Sure, the surprise victor in this month's elections made his name as a boa-bedecked wrestler, but Ventura's had more experience than that: He's acted in several features and TV shows (it worked for Reagan!). In fact, if you examine Ventura's on-screen dialogue closely, you'll get a glimpse of the political philosophy Minnesotans can expect from their new leader.
