Joe the Plumber

Politician

ranking
0
Joe the Plumber is a nickname applied to Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, an American plumber who has been used as a representation of aspiring middle class Americans during the 2008 U.S. presidential election season. Wurzelbacher was recorded questioning Democratic candidate Barack Obama about his small business tax policy during a campaign stop in Wurzelbacher's home state of Ohio. Wurzelbacher received prominence when he was mentioned frequently, as "Joe the Plumber," in exchanges between Republican candidate John McCain and Obama during the third presidential debate on October 15, 2008. Since then the nickname has been commonly used to refer both to a symbolic everyman and to Wurzelbacher himself, who has become a figure of media attention and a central player in the McCain-Palin campaign's late election strategy.
