Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura said Tuesday that he would consider running for president in 2012<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hey you,
\nOut there in the cold,
\nGetting lonely, getting old,
\nCan you feel me?<\/p>\n

Hey you,
\nStanding in the aisle,
\nWith itchy feet and fading smile,
\nCan you feel me?<\/p>\n

Hey you,
\nDon’t help them to bury the light.
\nDon’t give in without a fight.<\/p>\n

Speaking to a Ron Paul event at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Ventura told the crowd that he intends to watch events between now and the next election and decide “whether it’s worth it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hey you,
\nOut there on your own,
\nSitting naked by the phone,
\nWould you touch me?<\/p>\n

Hey you,
\nWith your ear against the wall,
\nWaiting for someone to call out,
\nWould you touch me?<\/p>\n

Hey you,
\nWould you help me to carry the stone?
\nOpen your heart, I’m coming home.<\/p>\n

“I wrote the book, “Don’t Start the Revolution Without Me,’\u00a0” Ventura said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Well, I’m here. Let’s get the revolution going.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But it was only fantasy.
\nThe wall was too high, as you can see.
\nNo matter how he tried he could not break free.
\nAnd the worms ate into his brain.<\/p>\n

“If I see it in 2012, we’ll give them a race they’ll never forget,” Ventura said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hey you,
\nOut there on the road,
\nAlways doing what you’re told,
\nCan you help me?<\/p>\n

Hey you,
\nOut there beyond the wall,
\nBreaking bottles in the hall,
\nCan you help me?<\/p>\n

Hey you,
\nDon’t tell me there’s no hope at all.
\nTogether we stand, divided we fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
