He didn’t announce his candidacy for any office, but ex-Gov. Jesse Ventura was full of ideas as an election analyst Tuesday night on CNN’s Larry King Live:
 
“I wish they would pass a law where all Democrats and Republicans had to wear Nascar racing suits, because if you look at the Nascar drivers, it tells who their sponsors are. And if they do that, we could then become informed voters, because we would know who owns them. “
 
At least one Capitol Hill staffer scoffed at the idea. No racing suit is big enough to accommodate all the sponsorship logos a modern-day member of Congress would have to wear.
