Famed conservative radio and television commentator Geraldo Rivera is exploring a run for U.S. Senate in Ohio as a Republican, telling cleveland.com/The Plain Dealer that he thought he could run a campaign outside the normal bounds of politics.

Rivera, 77, has been a staple on television and radio since the 1970s as both a correspondent and conservative political pundit. Rivera, who lives in Shaker Heights, tweeted Wednesday afternoon he was mulling running for Republican Sen. Rob Portman’s seat after Portman announced he would not seek re-election.

In an interview with cleveland.com/The Plain Dealer, Rivera said he was serious about the endeavor and planned on traveling the state on a listening tour in the coming weeks to solicit feedback about his potential candidacy. He said he and his wife, Erica Levy, a Democrat, would talk it over in the coming weeks as they decide....

I wish he would run in NJ instead. He would at least be an improvement over the senators there.

[CheshireTheCat]

For your consideration.

[Irenic]

I can’t stand him but at least I believe he loves the USA.

[Jeff Chandler]

[insert empty vault joke here]

[1Old Pro]

77? He should just buy a sports car.

[Reily]

When did he last set foot in Ohio?

Yes NJ would be a more appropriate choice.
For some reason he obviously thinks Ohio would be more receptive to his candidacy. The question is why does he think that?

I’d rather have a lib than a blue-blood Rino. At least you know when the lib is going to screw you.

[OttawaFreeper]

Seems a little odd to refer to Geraldo as a conservative, forgive me.

Please do no post his shirtless photo.... arrrgh!

Excuse me? He may run as a Republican. But he ain't no conservative.

[Leaning Right]

I am rather surprised by two things. One, that Geraldo Rivera is now considered a conservative. And two, that he is 77 years old.

[nikos1121]

I must admit, the man is in good shape for 77

[Reily]

He’s better categorized as simply a weird egoist !

[Paladin2]

Jerry Rivers?

He’s ignorant.

[ScubaDiver]

He owns (or at least owned a couple years ago) a home in Shaker Heights not far from where some family members live.

What?!?!?!?

[kempster]

Because we are at a shortage of people over 75 years of age in the Senate?

[dfwgator]

He said he and his wife, Erica Levy, a Democrat

That's the problem.

[battletank]

He has lived there for 4 years or more.

Man, I want some of whatever this moron is smoking, ‘cause it must be REALLY GOOD STUFF if it is strong enough to make one think Geraldo Rivera is a conservative..............
