TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- Joe the Plumber is plunging into politics because he thinks it's about time America had a few mechanics, bricklayers and, yes, plumbers in Congress.

Samuel "Joe" Wurzelbacher was thrust into the political spotlight after questioning Barack Obama about his economic policies during the 2008 presidential campaign. He officially launched his campaign for Congress in Ohio on Tuesday night.

But...but...Joe doesn’t have a degree in Political Science from an Ivy school. He doesn’t know the current ruler of Kazahkstan. He doesn’t have the connections with the country-club elite needed to raise money. He can’t win. /s

An uphill road for sure.
But the good news is that either Kaptur or Kucinich will be gone.
Nice redistricting, Ohio!

I hope Joe gets some work in the 2012 POTUS election.
I’d love to see him make a tv spot shredding Baraq.

Joe just might be receiving an endorsement and personal appearance by one ex-Governor from Alaska who he helped in the 2008 campaign.

I heard Joe speak at the first Michigan Tea Party gathering in Lansing a couple of years ago- he is fantastic - I will send him some $$ because he is just what we need in DC.

I wish you the very best of everything.

If the Good Lord is willing, and the Creek don’t rise, you just might become this Country’s newest UNCLE SAM.
