- Despite the enjoyment Jerry derived from being Cincinnati's 1970's answer to New York City's 1930's Gentleman Jimmy Walker, Jerry was politicial ambitious and was seeking higher levels of political satisfaction. Jerry never did hide the fact from anyone. And one of Jerry's aspirations was to be the Governor of Ohio. Jerry saw that as a stepping stone to even greater heights, like the U.S. Senate. Sure Jerry was ambitious, but he didn't grow up wanting to be president.
