MPR’s Mark Zdechlik reports Jesse Ventura's political opponents are criticizing the Reform Party candidate's suggestion that Minnesota should consider legalizing prostitution. Ventura claims some news organizations are misquoting him, saying he supports legalized prostitution and drugs.
With his candidacy registering +20% points in a recent poll, Ventura's comments are being taken more seriously. Some political observers say the more specifics Ventura offers, the more supporters he's likely to lose.
