TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - Joe The Plumber is putting down his wrenches
and picking up a reporter's notebook.
The Ohio man who became a household name during the presidential
campaign says he is heading to Israel as a war correspondent for
the conservative Web site pjtv.com.
Samuel J. Wurzelbacher says he'll spend 10 days covering the fighting.
He tells WNWO-TV in Toledo that he wants to let Israel's
"'Average Joes' share their story."
Wurzelbacher gained attention during the final weeks of the
campaign when he asked Barack Obama about his tax plan.
He later joined Republican John McCain on the campaign trail. At
one stop, he agreed with a McCain supporter who asked if he
believed a vote for Obama was a vote for the death of Israel.
