Springer weighs pros and cons of Senate run

JER-RY! JER-RY! JER-RY!

"The question is whether I can cut through the clutter of the show,'' said Springer...

For those who scoff, three words: Governor Jesse Ventura.

I say take this guy seriously. I don't know if Voinovich is beatable. But Springer, despite high negatives, has something priceless: 100% name ID. The Capitol has been populated increasingly with any variety of actors, jocks, and astronauts who have a leg up on the competition because people already know who they are. I say it's preferable to the other new breed politician, the self-financed gazillionare candidate.

And have you ever seen the guy outside the context of the show? He seems like an entire reasonable thoughtful guy.

He oughta clean up on the all important Moms Who Dress Like Sluts And Slept With Their Daughter's Boyfriends vote... hey, I had to get one cheap shot in!
