My understanding, from a Minnesotan who voted Green and approves of Ventura's victory, is that he took no PAC money, had some low limit on individual contributions, and took no national Reform Party money. I assume he is well off and from what I understand, he only ran a week long TV blitz. Plus, Hump the Umpteenth, was never really anybody's (at least non Minnesotan's) idea of a Democrat.
