Is Jerry Springer serious?

Former Cincinnati Mayor Jerry Springer still won't rule out a run for Ohio governor in 2006.

In an interview with MSNBC's Rita Cosby last week, Springer talked about his "stupid show" (the one on television, not his Cincinnati-based radio talk show), the legal woes of Pete Rose Jr., and the possibility that Warren Beatty might run for governor of California.
COSBY: Jerry, what about you, too? Because I know a couple of years ago you were toying with running for Senate. Is running for governor still an option in your future?

SPRINGER: Yes, I think about it. It's a possibility. What I really think about is, what if I won and it didn't make a difference? I mean, that's the thing that scares me is that you can get so caught up in the idea of running and winning.

And you have to remember: It's never about the person. It's never about the candidate. What it's really about is the people's lives who live in the state and what can be done to really make a substantive difference in the quality of their lives.

And that's what I really got to think: Could I make a difference? Because Ohio is in such horrible shape right now, whether you're talking about schools, or jobs. You know, everyone is leaving the state. You know, talk about -- Louisiana, if it's looking for an evacuation plan, should look at Ohio. We have the best evacuation plan. Everyone's left, and we didn't even have a hurricane.

Is Greg Korte serious?

Cincinnati "reporter" Greg Korte still can't write a report without including his allegedly non-existent bias.

Springer should run!

The democrats need all the help they can get. They lose to the worst of the republicans, when they aren't running republicans as democrats.

Why is comment moderation on, is Greg only posting the comments that reflect his views? Shouldn't everyone's opinion be heard?

Anyways, Springer would make for a great governor. He is intelligent and knows how to get things done. Just because his show was stupid doesn't mean he is. His show was also highly sucessful.

DOC thinks Korte's biased? Have you ever read anything Wilkinson has written?

Actually, all Enquirer "reporters" are political hacks.

Wonder what they're all going to do when the Enquirer becomes just a big AP, Reuters feed midway point

Thats where you're wrong. Springer would actually be a step down from taft. You would have all the incompetence, plus "Jerry-beads".

Springer belongs in zoo, a junkyard, or a prison. Not politics.
