0:56Now PlayingIn 1998, Jesse Ventura ran for Governor of Minnesota with just $300,000. The two major parties spent $12 million to stop him—and they failed.
Ventura proves that independents aren't just "spoilers"—they are winners who can irritate the establishment by refusing to play the big-money game. We look at how a guy who "spent nothing" took down the political machine and what that means for independent candidates today.
