Jesse Ventura's 'Body' Politics

Lightning strikes in Minnesota: Reform Party gubernatorial candidate Jesse Ventura stuns the political establishment

Clinton supporters weather the storm: Outspoken Sens. Patty Murray (WA) and Barbara Boxer (CA) survive

Initiatives rain on sportsmen's parades: Say goodbye to cock-fighting (AZ, MO), trapping (CA)--and horsemeat sales (CA)

Multiculti turnout creates a high-pressure system: Minority voters proved crucial, especially for Govs. Gray Davis (CA) and George W. Bush (TX)

Low-key Republican low-pressure system holds steady:. Moderate, tough-love governors like Engler (MI), Voinovich (OH) and Thompson (WI) realized they could win more votes by soothing than by scolding

Reaganites get the deep freeze: Two of the last standardbearers of the other GOP revolution went down, as Senators D'Amato (NY) and Faircloth (NC) lost ground among the suburban Catholics and Evangelicals who originally swept them to power
