Who will "Joe the Plumber" will vote for?

No one, it turns out. After last night's debate in which the name Joe the Plumber was invoked enough times to qualify him for his own Disney special, some enterprising souls went searching for Joe Wurzelbacher (his full name) in the Secretary of State's voting rolls for Joe's hometown of Holland, Ohio. And guess what? They found a Robert Lee and a Frank Edward Wurzelbacher, but no Joe. There goes another vote lost for John McCain.

Update: The AP is reporting that Joe the Plumber is not a plumber, either -- at least not one licensed by the state of Ohio, which requires plumbers to be licensed. And it also says he owes the state $1,182 in back income taxes.
