Joe the Plumber case still dripping

The election is over, but the Joe the Plumber case is not.
Ohio Inspector General Tom Charles said his office is now looking at a half-dozen agencies that accessed state records on Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher.
The Beacon Journal has learned that, in addition to the Department of Job and Family Services, two other state offices the Ohio Department of Taxation and Ohio Attorney General Nancy Rogers conducted database searches of Joe the Plumber.
Wurzelbacher became an instant celebrity after he asked Barack Obama a series of questions in his Toledo driveway about the Democrat's tax policies.
In the third debate between Obama and Republican John McCain on Oct. 15, the candidates referred to Joe the Plumber more than 20 times.
The next day, the taxation department conducted two separate searches of a database of liens for unpaid taxes that were certified to the Ohio Attorney General's Office for collection.
John Kohlstrand, a taxation department spokesman, said he is prohibited from talking about individual taxpayers, but he confirmed that the databases were checked.
The searches were done to determine whether a lien placed against the individual was appropriate and whether it remained unpaid or not, Kohlstrand said.

I wonder how many Ohioans are thrilled now with their Ted Strickland votes?
Don't believe anything said by the voters to the pollsters. Millions of people had been coached to give the pollsters PC answers ~ so you had little old ladies telling the pollsters that they were 18 years old and voting for the first time but were otherwise life-long Republican Conservatives.
Obama didn't get any different kind of voters than Democrats have gotten anyway, but he did seem to lose a good number of white women.
What happened was several million otherwise dependable Conservative Republicans didn't come out to vote.
That's a message to the RINOs to LEAVE THE PARTY and to the countryclubbers to work harder to get and support conservative candidates.
