Springer files papers for U.S. Senate run

http://www.onnnews.com/story.php?record=25347

-snip-

Jerry Springer will officially file for a U.S. Senate run in Ohio, but he hasn’t made up his mind on a campaign just yet.

The talk show host and former Cincinnati mayor will file papers for a U.S. Senate campaign as early as Friday. Mike Ford, a political advisor for Springer, says the filing is necessary to avoid any legal problems that might arise from the airing of a 30-minute infomercial.

Ford says Springer will still make a final decision on whether to run by the end of the month.

The commercial is aimed at increasing Springer’s national fund-raising efforts and will not be shown in Ohio initially. Springer will appear on the program to outline his positions on issues, as well as discuss his background and experience.

2. Does this send a chill down anyone else's spine???

I've heard that he's going to run as a dem. With all the problems the dems have, the LAST thing they need is to be known as the party of Jerry Springer. Rush and the Faux nazis will eat this one up.

Go home, Jerry!!!! :mad:

3. I'm not sure about that, although the thought has crossed my mind.

He's an experienced politician, and quite popular. Remember, too, that his show is very popular with the same people that listen to Rush. I don't think he wants to offend his base.

Edit: I just edited my subject line!!! Woohoo!!!

4. Saw it maybe a month ago in a news blurb on the Web

Can't remember where. Pretty sure it was a legit news site though. If anyone has a link, that would help.

5. I know what you mean...

... but I have seen him on the talk shows and I must say that he is forceful, well informed and articulates the democratic position quite artfully. I agree with him on every issue I have heard him discuss.
