'Dirty Jobs' Star [Mike Rowe] Rolls Up Sleeves for Romney Campaign
Breitbart ^

Posted on 09/25/2012 6:28:31 PM PDT by Perdogg

Mitt Romney is getting a little help from a reality show star whose gig aligns perfectly with the candidate's prime directive.

It's all about the jobs, or the lack thereof in the Age of Obama.

Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs" fame will campaign with the GOP presidential hopeful starting tomorrow in the crucial state of Ohio.

The Discovery Channel personality and Ford Motor Co. pitchman will offer his support Wednesday to Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney at a public event in Bedford Heights.

Romney's campaign announced the Rowe endorsement late Monday when confirming Romney's Cleveland-area itinerary for the final day of a two-day bus tour through battleground Ohio.

I'm stunned about this, but, welcome aboard Mr. Rowe. Your career will suffer, but you're a good man.

Always figured him for a dem, but what do I know?

That and maybe he has a long binding contract that he’ll get paid anyways if Ford chickens out. They do chicken out and they’re on the same list as Chevy in my family.

Believe it or not, Rowe began his show business career as an opera singer, and moved into TV a few years later.

I believe it - I just googled him to find out more. Mike was an Eagle Scout, not married, and lives in SanFrancisco. hmmm... how does he stand that place?

All the better. Living in San Francisco and writing this is proof of conviction, no matter any other circumstances.

Welcome aboard.

Me too. I love this guy. No job too dirty for him.

This one is going to get dirty, I hope he has some cash saved up, he probably won’t get much work after the Obama Kool aid drinking Hollywooders finish with him.

Good for him. My kids will be thrilled. They love his show. I’m not that surprised, though. Dirty Jobs always seemed like a conservative show to me.

Well, Ford told Barry Soetoro to stuff it, so Mike should be fine with them. I get the impression Mike just doesn’t care & does what he thinks is best. He is a very smart man.

Hey, CC - thanks for reminding us about that episode. I think that is the first time I ever saw the Dirty Jobs show — being here in the Mitten, it caught my eye.

Well good for him. Glad to know he’s on our side. I like the guy.

I mean Mike Rowe, not Romney.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again......some of the smartest people I know don’t have a college degree but have good old common sense and some of the dumbest people I know are ones with college degrees....2 of them in my own family. The latter couldn’t pour pee out of a boot with the directions wrote on the bottom.

Very wise. Our long-time mechanic owns a bustling little garage and is rumored in the community to be a millionaire.

To the article-—I’m glad to see it. I like Mike Rowe. He’s always seemed like a regular person to me. And he sho ain’t no metrosexual.
