PINCONNING -- A staple from the 2008 presidential campaign is in Mid-Michigan over the weekend. "Joe the Plumber" was campaigning and talking politics in Pinconning.

"The Republicans and the Democrats have been screwing Americans for the last 34 years," Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, known as "Joe the Plumber" stated. "I believe the Tea Party is going to have some of that this year. You're going to actually get some real Americans in office that will make some changes."

"Joe the Plumber" is campaigning for Republican Dr. Dan Benishek, who wants the congressional seat held by U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak.
