JOE THE PLUMBER STRIKES AGAIN!


From Capitol New York:
Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, better known as "Joe the Plumber," has formed a congressional campaign committee and filed a statement of candicacy, according to the Federal Election Commission's website.
....

The statement of candidacy isn't online yet, but it lists Wurzelbacher in Ohio's Ninth District, which has been held by Democrat Marcia Kaptur since 1983. Wurzelbacher floated the idea he might challenge Kaptur in 2010, and there have been rumors recently that he might consider a run.
If you think folks like Joe have had their 15 minutes of fame, and we've seen the last of them, you'd be wrong. Joe apparently liked his brief time in the limelight and wants more. I'm curious about the finances behind the kick-off of Joe's campaign for the House of Representatives.
