As McCain defends his psudeo plumber, Joe, what do real ohio plumbers have to say?
"He's impersonating a plumber," Kevin L. Cotter, business manager of Local 12 in Boston of the Plumbers and Gasfitters union, said of Wurzelbacher.
About 100 union plumbers from the local plan to knock on union members' doors today in Portsmouth, N.H., to urge them to vote for Obama and US Senate candidate Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat.
Joe the plumber is certain to be a topic of conversation, Cotter said.
Cotter's international union was the first to endorse Obama. Its local in Wurzelbacher's neck of the woods also plans an event tomorrow, timed with McCain's visit to Toledo.
"Actual plumbers will share their concerns with several of Senator McCain's proposals including his plan to tax employer-based healthcare insurance, his tax proposal which favors the wealthy over working Ohioans, and other issues that will impact working families," the local said.

as we all know by now...joe is not a licensed plumber, joe has apparently been working illegally. He could not buy the business even if he really desired too. Most likely he has put his employer in hot water. Other plumbers are amazed at his even thinking a single plumber could pull in a quarter of a million a year.
