I think it good that 'ordinary' working people run for public office. Step one is getting some type of name recognition, which Joe has done.
Recall, however, that many serving in public office, whether state or federal level, started out as 'ordinary' people. Yet, once in office, power starts its corruption.
Zoom forward twenty years: if Mr. Plumber is still in office, the younger generation will probably wonder "why did they elect this guy in the first place?"
A guy whose 15 minutes of fame was 14 minutes and 59 seconds to long is throwing his hat in the ring for Congress...here's your TEA party/group's brain trust for ya!
So transparent was this GOP PLANT before the last election. Tall, bald-headed neanderthal character approaches then-candidate Obama with the GOP cameras rolling, and pretends to be "Joe the plumber." Can a campaign strategy be any more cornball than that? Absolutely pathetic level of creativity there. It was insultingly stupid. It made me realize that the only thing the Republicans are good for is being ineffective warmongers.
This gimmicky neanderthal now emerges because of the GOP's increasing level of desperation that their 3 years of regressive obstructionist tactics have failed to deceive the American public about this incredible President. They have also failed to show that they are not MORE BUSH.

Wow look at the insults of this tolerant lefty here. The only thing stupid is the person that wrote this post.

And also because gimmicky people like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann didn't succeed. So rather than trying to find a legitimate candidate (you have to figure that there must be such a Republican, in a nation of 300 million), they go automatically for--surprise!--another gimmick.
Then, when their candidate loses, they won't be able to figure out why.
