"Gerald N. Springer (b. 1944) -- also known as Jerry Springer -- of Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio. Born in London, England, February 13, 1944. Democrat. Mayor of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1977-78; candidate in primary for Governor of Ohio, 1982. Jewish. Resigned from Cincinnati city council in 1974 after admitting he paid a prostitute with a personal check, which was found in a police raid on a massage parlor; won back his council seat in 1975 and went on to become mayor. Still living as of 2000."

Yes, that Jerry Springer. The Democratic Party in Ohio would really like to see him run for Senate -- after all, his political longevity in the face of scandal is perhaps unprecedented. Go Jerry Go!
