I knew that Jerry Springer had once been mayor of Cincinatti. What I didn't know is that he's ... well ... really, really good. I'd vote for him in a heartbeat, for anything he was running for. Maybe I'm just crazy, but listen to this episode of This American Life. They have a 31 minute piece on Springer, with about 2 minutes about the show. Turns out the Springer was not just a successful politician in Cincinatti. He was good. He was, and still is, progressive, but not in a Dennis Kucinuch way. He's a gifted attorney, and a heck of a speaker.
And he wants to get back into politics.
I'll be keeping an eye on http://runJerryRun.com, even though I'm not in Ohio anymore.
