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!
Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.
The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have given Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative.

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?"

I actually had the chance to hear him speak at a local TBer rally...IMHO he was above his skill level as a plumber's HELPER.
