Joe the writer?!?!?

Lately we keep hearing of Joe the plumber, but do we really know him?Apparently Sam Wurzelbacher (aka Joe) has a much deeper side which he hopes to share with the world in the form of a book.Joe has been on the hunt for an opportunity to share his experience on the campaign trail.Unfortunately there isn't much detail on this since the source of this news won't talk anymore.This news comes as a surprise to most, but it shouldn't considering Tina Fey is already working on her book which is bound to feature her performance as Sarah Palin (which was excellent).If Joe the plumber ever does get this book out i doubt it will be a success because the fad of Joe the plumber will be over.Just as the era of Pokemon ended so will the era of Joe.

Joe is nearly just another jingle of the campaign trail. Since actual songs and catchy rhythms are out, the candidates have become desperate to find a new catchy ideal. Joe is just an ordinary person, but why would he be propped up? To allure the mid-west into thinking McCain is another "people's man."

That a very good way of looking at the topic Grant.In fact in the 1800's the presidential race was focused not on the qualiity of the candadites on a political standpoint but rather on their resemblence to the common man.Many elections where won by men who were known to drink large abounts of alchohol and do thing that other men would do at the time.

First, Poke'mon never, ever, ever ended. It lives.

Whether or not Joe's book would be a success, I'm going to have to agree with you. I wouldn't say the "fad" known as Joe the Plumber would be over, because I don't think it was ever really a fad. Really he was just a representation of who the republican party represented. Since that group found better representation with the democrats, I don't think his book about the campaign would really mean much to many people.

Sorry Joe, I still love you.
