1. Related to Charles Keating
Not licensed as a plumber in Ohio nor is he registered to vote in Ohio.

All indications say "yes".

14. Not sure the 'not registered to vote' is accurate.
His first name is Samuel, middle name Joseph, and I think the searches were done for Joseph.

More info to come, I'm sure.

18. I personally searched
I ONLY searched on "Wurzelbacher".

See for yourself from the Ohio Secretary of State's website:

http://www2.sos.state.oh.us/cf_ftp/voter_ftp_home?agree_flag=Y#L187

If you want to check on his state license as a plumber:

22. fyi, from the Toledo Blade:


Linda Howe, executive director of the Lucas County Board of Elections, said a Samuel Joseph Worzelbacher, whose address and age match Joe the Plumber’s, registered in Lucas County on Sept. 10, 1992. He voted in his first primary on March 4, 2008, registering as a Republican.

thank you for the license link!

5. No, he would have had to know Obama would be there to be a plant...
Edited on Thu Oct-16-08 09:20 AM by 1corona4u
and no one knew Obama was going there. He just thought he'd be a big shot and trap Obama. Now he will be dissected by the media. That'll teach him to keep his stupid yap shut.

24. last Sunday....
Edited on Thu Oct-16-08 09:50 AM by gblady
Obama took a break from his debate prep and did door to door canvassing in Holland, Ohio...
of course, the press was there...and there were lots of pics, and a couple of videos
of Barack talking with folks who had gathered to see him as he walked about...
this dude was one of them...

McLame saw a video...and ran with it...
fortunately or unfortunately...depending on your view...
his campaign did not investigate the guy...

here's the original video...

10. Maybe -- How did he end up getting the opportunity to talk with Obama --
how did that come about? That would tell us if he really was a plant or not.

Regardless, he's a RW poster boy.

21. He said he lived arround the corner....and heard that Obama was there
Edited on Thu Oct-16-08 09:26 AM by 1corona4u
so he went over. After he heard the questions people were asking Obama, he didn't think they were tough enough, so he asked about the taxes.

Not that any of this matters, and people are giving it way too much weight.

Obama was going door to door on Shrewsbury Street. THere are reports on Obama's website about him talking to a woman who lived at 312 SHrewsbury. Joe Un-cool lives on 355 Shrewsbury.

11. If you start hearing in stump speeches
The mention of "Joe the plumber" constantly, it'll become more and more obvious he was a plant.

26. Last Wednesday we had a "walk the neighborhood" with our local Dem cong candidate
we had 20 door knockers go ahead and do a brief preliminary session to weed out any trouble makers.

It went very smoothly and the Obama campaign would have benefited from that.

27. I don't think he's a plant at all.
I think he's a run-of-the-mill Rush-listening Republican, who happened to get his name in the papers, and who the McCain campaign immediately capitalized on.

43. How do you PLANT someone..
when Obama walked up to their front door. McCain can't even organize 9 people in his own campaign.. i don't think he could guess where Obama was going to randomly jump out and stop door-knocking or put a plant in random houses in OH in anticipation... that's even to far out for my tin hat.

This guy is a republican.. he's not acting like a Plant, he's acting like a typical racist republican. I don't want to vote for the black guy. He would be better for me financially (this guy makes $40,000 per year.. not $250,000) but I need to convince myself that i'm not racist, so i'm going to pretend that I really care about what I would be out as a possible business owner. :puke:

Not a plant.. just another idiot voting for McSame.

I don't care what the naysayers say, nay, the Rethugs are capable of ANYTHING, and this guy was a sleeper WAITING for his chance.

I'm SURE his income increased today, by a lot.

54. We stupidly set ourselves up for this one. . .
There was no very clear information about WHO would be taxed and who would not, and this let us be
set up for entrapment.

If something CLEAR had stated who would be taxed and who would not, including business owners, this could
have been prevented.
