The AP reports that Democrat and former Mayor of Cincinnati is considering running for the U.S. Senate.

Springer realizes that his talk show fame could be a hindrance. "There are pluses and minuses," Springer said. "The plus is that I'm known by everybody. The minus is that I'm known by everybody."

Springer also has a dream of helping rebuild the Democrat Party. "I want to be helpful in rebuilding the party," he said. "Whether I have to be a candidate is a totally separate issue. ... I don't need a job."

What the AP left out is that Springer resigned public office when it was discovered he'd solicited a prostitute, and written her a check. The public was forgiving, however, and he was elected again a few years later.

He should fit right in with the Dems.
