While Joe the Plumber is running for the Republican nomination for Ohio's 9th Congressional District, he says he won't endorse any GOP candidate for president.

Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, told The Daily Beast that his favorite candidate, Herman Cain, is no longer in the race. He said just like Cain, he supports the idea of handing more power to the states, a flat tax and does not support politicians who make a career out of serving.

"At the end of my work day, you have a house. You can turn on your faucet for a drink of water," he told The Daily Beast. "At the end of their work day, nothing’s been done."

If Wurlezbacher wins the Republican nomination, he will face off with either Rep. Marcy Kaptur or Dennis Kucinich in November's election.
