Odds on Joe's Political Future
By
In case you were wondering about the odds that Joe Wurzelbacher (for the rest of his life aka "Joe the Plumber") will, as he has indicated he may be up for, run for Congress, BetOnline.com is now taking odds on that and other prospects for Wurzelbacher's political future.
Odds on Joe to run are 3.5-1; odds on Joe to win are 8-1.
After the fame that John McCain brought him during the third and final presidential debate of 2008, Wurzelbacher's political life was extended by news that he might consider challenging Rep. Marcy Kaptur, the longtime Democratic congresswoman from the Toledo area, for her U.S. House seat in 2010, then later by his employment with Pajamas Media as a foreign correspondent in Gaza.
Most recently, he appeared at CPAC (the Conservative Political Action Conference) at the Omni Shoreham hotel in Washington, DC this weekend, where he told MSNBC that he would consider running for office in six years, planning that his son will have left for college at Ohio State University at the time.
