Joe the Plumber is elected to party office in Ohio

[steve2470]

TOLEDO, Ohio — Joe the Plumber is plunging into party politics.

Samuel "Joe" Wurzelbacher, who was hailed by Republican John McCain's presidential campaign in 2008, won one of nearly 400 seats on the local Republican Party committee in Ohio's Lucas County.

But don't call him Joe the Politician just yet.

The group he'll serve on meets only a few times a year to elect the county chairman and sets the party agenda. Wurzelbacher won the seat by a 38-24 vote Tuesday in his suburban Toledo precinct. A message seeking comment was left with him Wednesday.

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.

3. And we all know that being on a GOP committee in Lucas County, Ohio is a stepping stone to the Oval

Office. :rofl:

4. Ah yes, the ordinary Joe whose views weren't party political ...

5. suburban Toledo...

not Toledo.

That douchebag couldn't get elected to anything in the city. He lives in some redneck village outside city limits.

6. Interesting, that is the same route that Michael Steele took.

First he ran the Repub committee in Maryland, and then on to lt. governor, and then FAILED Senatorial campaign.

Hmmm.
