Joe Wurzelbacher, a.k.a. "Joe the Plumber," said Friday he may consider running for Congress in 2010, challenging longtime Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D) in the Toledo-area district.
"I'll tell you what, we'd definitely be in one heck of a fight," Wurzelbacher said during an appearance on the Laura Ingraham show Friday, "but, you know, I'd be up for it."

audio clip of Joe on Laura Ingraham's show.

He’s more qualified than Obama.....and could fix any leaks in the White House.

I hope to God that this kick starts the citizen-politician. Not the career-politician.
We could use Joe the Plumber in Congress. We could also use Jane the Hunter, Jill the Engineer, Tito the Construction Worker, and Alex the Brick Layer in Congress too.
They know what makes our country work. Not Joe the Six Term Senator.

He should. The dems have attempted to have him ostracized from most private sector work. He’s lived it. GO JOE!

He needs to be careful about this for now. MSM will try to get him to talk more and more about this until they have made him look like a politician rather than a citizen. (Not that he shouldn’t run.)
