Courtis Fuller for ... Congress?

        That's the word going around Democratic Party circles this week.

        Hamilton County Democratic Party co-chairman Tim Burke said that Mr. Fuller's name had come up as a possible Democratic candidate to run against Republican Steve Chabot in the 1st District.

        But that's as far as it goes, he said.

        Mr. Fuller, a lifelong Democrat, ran against Cincinnati Mayor Charlie Luken this year and lost. Because Mr. Luken already had the Democratic endorsement, Mr. Fuller ran under the Charter Committee's banner.

        Mr. Burke said Mr. Fuller's name came up in a brainstorming session of party leaders preparing for a visit of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee last month.

        Melanie Bates, the party's director, called the Charter Committee office to see whether Mr. Fuller was interested.

        “That call was never returned, and that was the end of it,” Mr. Burke said.

        Mr. Fuller did not return a phone call seeking comment Thursday. He's in talks to return to WLWT (Channel 5), where he worked as a reporter for 14 years.
