Ventura was basically elected because the people of Minnesota hated the republican and democratic candidates that were running. They also disliked the massive smear campaign both major parties ran (it was REALLY nasty.)
Ventura on the other hand didn't speak a bad word about his opponents, he just kept on promoting himself, culminating in a 72 hour motorhome rush around the state before election day.
Would that happen on a national scale? Probably not.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
