"Joe the Plumber" to face Rep. Kaptur in Ohio race
Incumbent Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich losses to 15 term Democratic incumbent after redistricting moved their districts together. Now that the Ohio Primary is over, Democrat Rep. Marcy Kaptur is now facing off against the Republican Primary winner Samuel Wurzelbacher. Wurzelbacher, also known as "Joe The Plumber," faces a major challenge as the district is heavily dominated by democratic voters. Despite this challenge, Wurzelbacher has promised a clean and fair campaign and wants to win on the facts. It will be interesting to see if this strategy will hold out in the long run as he runs against the long time House incumbent Kaptur.

I think this goes to show how someone that gets the right spotlight is able to get votes due to facetime.
