What I now know about Joe

So Joe the plumber was the third man in that debate last night. McCain brought him up and proceeded to mention him a further 21 times and Obama gave a shout-out to Joe 4 times.

Joe the plumber probably isn't going to be endorsing Barack Obama. Here is a clip of Obama and Joe debating small business tax policy of the two candidates.


I think Obama does very well in his mini debate with Joe and goes a small way to convincing him to switch his vote - perhaps.

Judge for yourself.



If referencing Joe the Plumber means that the above footage will be seen by a greater number of voters and maybe even picked up by the major networks then I think this can only benefits Obama. He does well talking to Joe and convincingly appears ready to be the President for both Democrats AND Republicans.

A short-sighted move from McCain.
