The amazing story of Joe the plumber.

Did McCain or Obama win the debate?  Neither the real winner is Joe the plumber.  If you caught any of the final presidential debate on October 15, your probably wondering who is Joe the plumber.  Joe Wurzelbacher is a plumber from Ohio a key swing state in the election who has worked 12 hour shifts for years and now he wants to buy a plumbing company.  He was able to talk to Obama when he was in Toledo earlier this week and told him that his tax plan would prevent him from buying this business since the company would make over 250,000 dollars a year.  McCain saw this as an opening during the debate and accused Obama of making it more difficult to for people to start their own businesses.  In case you were wondering Joe the plumber hasn’t said who he is voting for this November.  He said he hasn’t been impressed by either candidate.  He got over 20 shout-outs during the debate even more than Joe Six-pack the ordinary American chasing the American dream.  He is so popular they are now making shirts, hats and other election apparel with his name on it.  Not bad for a plumber from Toledo.
