Joe the Plumber to team up with McCain Thursday
[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/10/30/art.joe.gi.jpg caption="Joe The Plumber is hitting the trail with John McCain."](CNN) - Joe Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, is set to team up with John McCain on the campaign trail Thursday.
He will appear at the Arizona senator's first event in Defiance, Ohio. Wurzelbacher also campaigned with Sarah Palin Wednesday.
This is a sign of true despiration.
Oh for goodness sake...haven't we all heard enough about Joe the not-really-who-I-say-I-am Plumber?
This guy said he thinks Obama wants to destroy Israel. Why is he getting any attention?
Really doesn't matter at this point but I guess Joe is looking to 2012 like Palin.
Obama/Biden 08
Obama/Clinton 12
Great, and this is newsworthy because?????
Campaigning with a person who owes taxes! The guy is such a farse. This campaign is not about issues – just mud.
What do they think this guy is gaining them? Seems to show yet more of this quite strange thinking pattern from the McCain camp.
John McCain is barely holding on to a lead in his own state of Arizona. Maybe he needs to start campaigning there. That will really suck to lose your own state. HAHAHA
OBAMA/BIDEN 08
Joe the so-called Plumber is a cartoon and as such is an appropriate mouthpiece for the failing McCain campaign.
If all the republicans have is a tax dodging nutball as their last ditch effort I feel really sorry for them. McCain has truly lost it and Palin is just a cow.
I honestly could care less what Joe the Plumber thinks or has to say. This is the reason McCain will lose. He's only playing up to his base; not all Americans like Obama has and will continue to do.
McCain picked Palin as his VP–Joe the Plumber is as qualified as she is. Joe the Plumbers is really sharp on foreign affairs.
Business must not be good if Joe has so much free time
Pathetic!
McCain has Joe the Plumber on his side. Obama has Wm Ayers, Rev Wright, ACORN and Rashid Khalidi on his.
John McCain and Joe the Plumber? Here they come...Dumb and Dumber.
worn out idea for a worn out campaign.
Joe the plumber is even more radical in his views than Sarah Palin. Is Joe the plumber really helping McCain? To me he's more of a distraction.
John and Sarah = please give us one or two new ideas on how to get us out of this recession. please give us your platform on how you plan to repair relations with our former allies around the world.
Enough said.
There are so many people in this country more worthy of the attention that is being heaped on this guy. His 15 minutes of fame should have been used up long ago. For his sake, he better have his book deal and country music contract locked up before Tuesday because he's going to be dropped like "third period French" after the election.
One fraud endorsing another fraud.
One loser joining another. Big Whoop!
As if it will do McCain any good...Joe is a moron, he'd be better off under Obama's plan
He's is probably getting paid off by the McCain camp from the beginning.
Talk about throwing anything at the wall to see if it sticks!
Oh, please. I have deep respect for McCain, the man. But this campaign is out of touch and out of date.
I think McCain should revamp his ticket. Let Joe become the President, McCain the VP, and Mrs. Palin their executive secretary. Now that's a cool suggestion, if I may say so. What a joke my dear Senator McCain (who used I still admire for his services) has made of himself...
