TOLEDO, Ohio - Joe the Plumber is plunging into party politics.
Samuel "Joe" Wurzelbacher (WUR'-zuhl-bah-kur), who was hailed by Republican John McCain's presidential campaign in 2008, has won one of nearly 400 seats on the local Republican Party committee in Ohio's Lucas County.
The group elects the county chairman and sets the party agenda. Wurzelbacher won the seat by a 38-24 vote Tuesday in his suburban Toledo precinct.
He became an overnight sensation almost two years ago after questioning then-Sen. Barack Obama on the campaign trail about his economic policies and then when McCain repeatedly cited "Joe the Plumber" in a debate.
Wurzelbacher has since written a book and spoken at conservative gatherings.
Is this what right wing politics is resorting to? I know its just a republican party committee but it is kinda funny. Who knows, in a few years he could have the backing of the GOP and a nomination for president, NO, not of the committee, of the USA!! They ain't got much else goin' for 'em these days...

Yeah, Sam the Scummer got almost 30 votes.
His 15 were up awhile ago, but Sam the Scummer is stupid. Even in comparison to the Rushpubliscums in general, Sam the Scummer is an idiot.
JR, who in samhill is Sam the scummer? lol
Samule Joseph Gopperhacker is Sam the Scummer. Oh, and he's a water sprinkler installer, NOT a plumber. He's also a scofflaw and a wifebeater, as well as a former welfare recipient.
In other words, his stunning stupidity and hypocrisy make him the perfect Rushpubliscum.
I'm not too worried about this fellow advancing in politics. He couldn't find his way out of a paper bag.
I think it's great! I don't care what party he is with, you have to hand it someone, either way, who cares enough to get involved.
Why not? The press has investigate him way more than they did President Obama...

Stupid comment of the day. As someone who lives in Ohio and has a lot of connections near where Sam the Scummer lives, I guarantee you that you don't know even 10% of what there is to know about Sam.
Eh-you wouldn't believe the truth anyway, unless Hannity gave it to you in the form of an enema.
14:55....14:56....14:57....14:58...14:59... Fifteen Minutes!!!! OK JOE! Times UP!!!!!
I think they're just tallking to him to see if he can fix the oil leak in the Gulf.
Good God, that's a scary thought. When will the villages run out of idiots???
Great post, my friend. Thanks for the heads-up!
I think Palin has found her perfect 2012 running mate.....
Oh please... no one can be serious about Joe for state office let alone national office.
But then again. :-)
The plomber that isn't is now a politician. Joe is slimy enough to qualify for that title.
This is a test only. Trying to reformat link colors. : )
