Three Cheers for Joe the Plumber

Samuel Wurzelbacher aka Joe the Plumber who attracted national media attention and the wrath of the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services Director Helen Jones-Kelley when he unmasked Barack Obama's redistributive agenda , defeated Steve Kraus, a Sandusky real estate agent to win the Republican nomination in the newly drawn 9th congressional district. He will face Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur who put to death Dennis Kucinich's long and colorful political career in the Democratic primary. Clearly Wurzelbacher faces an uphill battle, as the Queen Of Pork has represent the Toledo long if not well, pulling 59 percent of the vote in 2010. The 9th congressional district (The Mistake by the Lake) remains very blue but voters may warm to a genuine blue collar candidate.

  1. I've heard him speak. He's good, believe it or not, and he's been studying for quite some time to be able to handle this. I'm encouraged. It's solidly Democrat but who knows.

  2. So was Wiener's district. It's uphill but not impossible.
