 (New York) Ucs News- Down in the polls with only 19 days left Arizona Senator John McCain once again shakes up the political landscape. Just minutes after his debate with Senator Barack Obama, The McCain campaign announced that Sarah Palin "has resigned" and the now famous Ohio Plumber Joe Wurzelbacher would step into boost the faltering McCain candidacy.
Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod called the move "Brilliant" and "The first intelligent thing John has done in weeks." According to Axelrod the selection of Joe "the plumber" Wurzelbacher will put the campaign in touch with the nations working men but will also Help McCain bring in the state of Ohio. With Alaska being a firmly red state McCain can ditch Sarah Palin to focus on the must win toss-up state of Ohio.
Regarding Palin, The McCain announcement stated that she would be returning to Alaska to care for her now autistic child. She being an expert in special needs child care, because she is married to a man that takes care of a special needs child while she campaigns.
McCain campaign manager Rick Davis took time off from producing attack ads to speak with reporters on the subject of the Wurzelbacher VP nomination.
"We love Joe, He is an all American pick. Joe is a fellow Maverick™ and straight talker." Davis went on to detail Wurzelbachers extensive qualifications.
#1. He is from Ohio.
#2. He is a Washington outsider.
#3. He has extensive foreign policy experience (he dated a polish girl for three years then spent 4 nights drinking in Windsor Ontario with friends after a nasty break up.)
#4. He can get through an interview with Katie Couric without making a fool of himself.
But perhaps his most important qualification:
#5. He can fix the broken toilet onboard the Straight Talk Express.
