JOE THE PLUMBER: CHANGING THIS YEAR'S RACE?
As Paul noted earlier today, John McCain is "hanging around" in the Presidential race despite what would seem to be overwhelming odds. Maybe even doing a bit better than hanging around, as the current Gallup poll has Obama up by only two points, within the margin of error, among "traditional likely voters." Which illustrates the problem pollsters have, trying to figure out who will actually vote this year.
I think several developments may be helping McCain a bit. The emergence of ACORN as an issue is one. Voter fraud really angers people, for good reason, and most voters understand not only that ACORN is registering Democratic voters, but that Obama's relationship with ACORN is much deeper than he admits. Today, the New Mexico Republican Party released evidence that ACORN's voter registration fraud--a fact that no one denies--has already led to actual voter fraud:
Public records released in New Mexico today confirm that fraudulent voter registrations are in fact turning into fraudulent votes. ACORN, currently under investigation by the FBI, is now confirmed to be responsible for producing fraudulent voter registrations and illegal votes in New Mexico. An inspection of public records has revealed that illegal votes were cast in New Mexico's 2008 primary election. "This is a bombshell. We now have undeniable proof that a significant number of fraudulent voters were cast in Democrat primary races for the New Mexico state legislature as a result of ACORN's voter registration fraud," remarked State Representative Justine Fox Young (R-Albuquerque). "No longer can ACORN argue that their phony voter registration forms don't translate into fraudulent votes. They do and today we can prove it." ...
"It is safe to say that the number of illegal votes being cast dwarfs the 366 votes that decided the 2000 Presidential election in New Mexico," said Nina Martinez, Secretary for the Republican Party of New Mexico.
Another factor working in McCain's favor is the emergence of Joe the Plumber, who finally--and more effectively than the McCain campaign has ever been able to do it--put Obama where he belongs, in the long tradition of tax-raising, wealth-distributing liberals. The McCain campaign jumped on the bandwagon with this effective ad:

Joe Biden, meanwhile, made matters worse by expressing doubt that a mere plumber could earn $250,000 a year, thereby insulting small business people everywhere. It's a good reminder of how far removed from reality the patrician Democrats are.
OVER WHELMING ODDS?
Oh please. He will win. Check Gallup out today...2 pts diff
and that means tie....also weighted with more Dems.
BELIEVE MY BROTHER...JOE THE PLUMBER IS THE GAME CHANGER!
Just saw this in another thread. It needs to go viral.
Great “Barack the Plumber” cartoon at netrightnation.com. Check it out.
It has taken root!!!!!
We all NEED one of these!!and FAST
Please is right. I am so ready for this to be over. I am so damn angry I could cry.
Flush Obama
I think we will be seeing a few more game changers in the days to come!
Joe knows O. ;^)
"This is a ready made ad for the McCain campaign."
LOL
"You cheap shot bastard socialist freaking power hungry lying, stuttering, can’t talk without a TelePrompTer, domestic terrorist loving unborn baby hating Marxist loving piece of whale dung"
My thoughts exactly.
Please Lord, let this be Obama’s Dukakis-in-a-tank moment. I am so offended that the Marxist Messiah has besmirched this presidential race with his arrogant, smug Chicago punk campaign style.
I have never been so red hot angry during the campaign as I was when I read the media’s witch hunt against Joe the Plummer. I hope he sues their collective butt off. Then to see the Chicago punk laugh at him. I am so ready to give this punk his walking papers. I already early voted, but I’m working a phone bank to fight against this man and his evil plans for America.
When McCain becomes POTUS, he should make “Joe the Plumber” the official White House toilet fixer. ;-)
Another poster challenged me saying the video probably wouldn't get much air time...
..but LOL the rest is history today! :)
