Influential Ohio Democrats are pushing former Cincinnati mayor and daytime-TV host Jerry Springer to run for Ohio governor in 2018, more than half a dozen Democrats familiar with the race told Business Insider.
Many said Springer, who sought the Democratic nomination for governor of Ohio in 1982 and remains active in state politics, could be a good fit for the current political climate.

Quintessential Democrat.
that’s all they have in their bull pen?
Are his parents American?
Yeah, and bring in Whorealdo and whack him in the schnozzola with a chair again.
I wouldn’t vote for Springer, but if he wins, he will give the WWE a run for the money in ratings.

More like another Bill Clinton. Couldn't keep his fly zipped. I had an instructor for Business Law at Univ of Cinc in 1985 - this was when Springer was the local TV news anchor ( funny thing his name was Matlock - way before the series. His law practice must have boomed with little old ladies after the series aired ). Anyway, he practiced law with Springer. He would tell us stories of what Springer was like when they went to law conventions. Bill Clinton could have taken lessons from him :-)
I’m guessing that Springer wants nothing to do with this. He’s almost 75 years old.
But just imagine the ads!!!
Springer is an Ultra-Left-Commie Womanizer.
Looks like they were Jewish refugees ( most likely Polish) who had escaped the Nazis.
Springer was born in Highgate tube station in London, England, while the station was in use as a shelter from German bombing during World War II, and grew up on Chandos Road, East Finchley. His parents, Margot (née Kallmann; a bank clerk) and Richard Springer (owner of a shoe shop), were Jewish refugees who escaped from Landsberg an der Warthe, Germany (now Gorzów Wielkopolski, Poland). His maternal grandmother Marie Kallmann, who was left behind, died in the gas trucks of Chelmno extermination camp (Poland). His paternal grandmother, Selma Springer (née Elkeles), died at the hospital in the Theresienstadt concentration camp (Czech Republic). Selma Springer’s brother, Dr. Hermann Elkeles, was a renowned Berlin doctor who also died at Theresienstadt concentration camp.
In January 1949, Springer immigrated with his parents to the United States, settling in Kew Gardens, Queens, New York, and attended Forest Hills High School. One of his earliest memories about current events was when he was 12 and watching the 1956 Democratic convention on television where he saw and was impressed by John F. Kennedy.
I say - Yeah - go for it!!
Well, he IS more credible than their current Governor.

He's a DemocRAT, so change it where he was born in Kenya and he'll have no problems.
The only person I can think of who expresses the Democrat ideal more would be Larry Flint.
A Jerry Brown east.
He can’t be any worse than Kasich.
Couldn’t be worse than Kaysuck.
Don’t tell that to the Cruzers.
Just what the dems need - another clown!
So glad I bailed on Ohio.
Don’t you just love the smell of Democrat desperation in the morning?
