Jerry Springer Says He May Run for Senate

COLUMBUS, Ohio ? Talk show host Jerry Springer has a secret of his own to share: He's considering running for the U.S. Senate next year.

Springer, a Democrat, said he'll decide by summer whether to challenge George Voinovich, a Republican who has said he'll run for a second term in 2004.

He acknowledged that his nationally syndicated Jerry Springer Show could work against him. Guests divulge their intimate secrets -- and frequently strip down to their intimate apparel -- on episodes with titles like "Your Lover Is Mine!" and "Explosive Betrayals!"

"There are pluses and minuses," Springer said. "The plus is that I'm known by everybody. The minus is that I'm known by everybody."

Springer figures it would take $20 million to beat Voinovich and as much as $5 million to win a Democratic primary.

"I have the resources," the 59-year-old millionaire said Wednesday night before speaking at the winter meeting of the Ohio Democratic Party Chairs Association.

Springer is a former Cincinnati mayor and councilman who lost the Democratic primary for governor in 1982 and considered running for the Senate in 2000. He said he also may run for Cincinnati mayor in 2005 or governor in 2006.

Can he be any worse than Traficant?

 

[SociallyChallenged]

Lol, I'd vote for him, maybe it'd make life a little more interesting...

 

[Queasy]

Transvestites, trailer trash, pimps, and hos from across the nation were heard to say "Yay".

I wonder if Steve would be his bodyguard

 

[Antisocial Virge]

He paid for a hooker with a check. He hasn't got a chance.

Jerry Springer Plotting His Return To Ohio Politics

After ousting the likes of James Traficante, I would think Springer would be mildly ammusing at best. Hell, if Italy can elect a porn star into the upper echelons of their government, why wouldnt Ohio residents elect a flim-flam man like Springer?

~wnied~

First Captain Janeway's husband and now Springer? What the hell is wrong with Democrates in Ohio?

 

[spiridion]

As long as he's a democrat I'll vote for him. The republicans have messed up ohio enough.

 

[Analog]

boo.

 

[Spac3d]

YES! I will vote for him

We already have Jackass's in office, they just don't make it so public. If Jessy Ventura (sp?) can be govenor, Jerry Springer can be a Senator.

It figures that trashy news like that would break on Fox.

 

[Aceshigh]

I don't live in Ohio, and I am a Republican. But I would like to see him get in.

Because Ohio is a lot more conservative than Italy.

Hahahahaha! Says who? Most Ohio people I know are as freaky as the natural born Italians I know, as well as frustrated with their representation in the government.
