You gotta love this country, even with all its faults. Consider this: "Joe the Plumber" is now officially in politics. He won the ninth district Ohio primary on Tuesday, with an endorsement from Herman Cain to boot.
You'll recall how he stepped into the limelight... In 2008, Joe (AKA Sammuel Wurzelbacher)- asked then Presidential Candidate Barak O'Bama, how he proposed to help small businesses.
That was the shot heard 'round the world. He created so much media interest it made him the new darling of the Republican Party.

- Have something to say that addresses a hot issue
- Be ready and willing to work to affect a change
The scenario reminds me of a scene from the movie "Gypsy" starring Natalie Wood. When Rose Louise makes her debut into Burlesque, she has no idea what to do on stage.
One of the strippers step in with the suggestion: " Ya' gotta have a gimmick."
This is a rather coarse analogy, but you understand where I am going with this.
Apparently Joe has his "gimmick" going great guns:Joe-the-Plumber-goes-to-Congress:
The battle is just beginning.
He has to face State Representative and Democrat Marcy Kaptur, who has also just scored a victory.
Joe's campaign has already funneled out $60,000 for his efforts. (We all know plumbers make good money!).
You've got no excuses.
If you really want to do something, you can do it, and even be taken seriously...
What's your gimmick?

Maybe a plumber can get a better handle on how to "flush out" the ailing economy.
