unfortunately, it is now common knowledge. I got this off wikipedia (yes, there is a huge write up on the joe the plumber on wikipedia)

Plumbing career

Wurzelbacher is one of two employees of a small plumbing firm, Newell Plumbing and Heating Co. of Toledo, the company he described to Obama as making $250,000 to $280,000 per year. Wurzelbacher said that the idea of buying the company was discussed during his job interview six years prior. According to MSNBC, Court records show that Wurzelbacher made $40,000 in 2006. Dun & Bradstreet estimates the annual sales of A. W. Newell Corporation, the actual corporate name, at $510,000, and states it has 8 employees.

An Associated Press article reported that Wurzelbacher did not have a plumber's license or apprenticeship, although Local 50 of the United Association of Plumbers, Steamfitters and Service Mechanics revealed that Wurzelbacher began an apprentice program in 2003 which did not result in completion.

Wurzelbacher actually does not need a plumbing license because he works for a plumbing corporation, which holds responsibility for licensing issues. Additionally A. W. Newell holds licenses with the State of Ohio and City of Toledo. Even in light of the fact that Lucas County Building Inspection records show A. W. Newell Corp. does maintain a state plumbing license, another with the City of Toledo, and none in Lucas County Ohio, Joe Wurzelbacher has no control nor responsibility in regard to this issue. Even if according to Ohio building regulations, he must maintain his own license to do independent plumbing work, Joe Wurzelbacher is not presently an independent plumber, meaning this is not presently a regulatory issue.

I'm not talking about 'Joe the Plumber', I'm talking John McCain and his supporters.

They're the NO campaign, as in no narrative. Every day, it's 'No Obama this and No Obama that', and still no narrative for his own so-called message.

I don't care one way or the other about Joe the Plumber, he's one vote in a state I don't live in.

================================

Reward Republicans for 8 years of failure? No way, No how, No McCain!

Looking at Obama's close relationship with Rashid Khalidi, who was also a close friend of Ayres, it looks like Joe might be right.

Yup, McCain's campaign is rolling right along, picking up speed as they go downhill. First they pick up Palin, and now Joe. I think next we'll see Miss Teen South Carolina speaking for them before they finally hit bottom, LOL.

Quite the "connection." It's almost as if McCain were actually buddies with Khalidi...and had many dinners at his house...or that Khalidi held fundraisers for McCain...or that they shared friends in common, like the terrorist Bill Ayres. Why the similarities are STRIKING! LOL!

Odd then, that while McCain rises, Obama drops. I wonder why Obama, with all of his resources and huge crowds, can't seem to "seal the deal?" Kind of makes ya wonder.
