Week 5-Current Event

My current event is on how Joe Wurzelbacher, or Joe the Plumber. The most famous plumber in America plans to run for conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham Friday he's considering a run for Congress in 2010. That would pit Wurzelbacher against longtime Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur for Ohio's 9th district on the state’s northern border, which includes Toledo and Sandusky. Wurzelbacher's chances would likely be slim. Kaptur has served in the district for 25 years, and remains a popular figure there. She won reelection in 2006 with nearly 75 percent of the vote and is expected to easily sail through another reelection this year. Joe became famous after he questioned Obama's tax plan but a spokesperson for Kaptur said he is already off on the wrong foot, since Jeep just laid of 800 workers so embracing Bush-McCain economics is kind of a strange way to launch your campaign.
