Washington - Joe Wurzelbacher, an Ohio plumber who has become a famous figure in the US election, took to the campaign trail on Tuesday for Republican presidential candidate John McCain.
"Joe the plumber," as he is known, has come to represent average US workers and aspiring small business people, and become a regular mention in McCain's stump speeches since he challenged Democratic nominee Barack Obama on tax policy in early October at an Ohio rally.
The McCain campaign seized on Obama's response to Joe: "I think that when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
