Governor Ventura brought his particular brand of populism to a national political audience in Washington D.C. today. Ventura spoke to a sold-out crowd at the National Press Club. In a half-hour speech, he told the story of his surprise election, from the initial conference in his barn where he decided to run, to the shock of his victory last November. After his speech, Ventura answered reporters questions about whether other independent candidates who don't have his name recognition and celebrity status can do what he did.
