Jerry Springer, the talk show host whose nationally syndicated program often spotlighted strippers and skinheads, officially filed papers with the Senate clerk to run for the U.S. Senate from Ohio.
Springer, 59, the former mayor of Cincinnati, will make a final decision on whether to run for the Democratic nomination by the end of the month.
State Sen. Eric Fingerhut has already announced his candidacy to challenge first-term Republican Sen. George Voinovich.
