Links Here in Japanese to Japanese commentary about last night's debate and elevates the issue of *JOE THE PLUMBER* as indicative of middle class concerned Americans.

Translates him as [働く配管工のジョー] "Hataraku Haikanko no Joe-san" (literally, "Joe, the Working Plumber"), and states he is an interesting developing campaign story in the USA delineating the differences between McCain and Obama on basic TAX ISSUES.

Going global, folks. From my own research just now, even some of the dummies over at DU's heads are exploding in anger over this sudden, new, real live NARRATIVE to the American political landscape, Joe The Plumber (who conveniently is opposed to Obama). They are now trying to dig up things on this real "Average Joe", Joe W., some calling him a racist (I know, I know, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1), or that he is not registered to vote, the whole usual panicking liberal nine yards. LOL.

[ForGod'sSake]

Needs to shake a leg too.

[babydubya1981]

LOL!

This Joe the Plumber phenomenon reminds me of the movie EDtv.

I love Joe :)

[AmericanInTokyo]

What we have here is the Maverick/Sarahcuda/Plumber Joe (is this the Joe Sixpack Sarah talks about?) ticket versus the Senator Government and his gaffetastic sidekick “say it ain’t so” Joe/tax and spend liberals ticket.

[BlessedBeGod]

Very, very cool. Thank you for the info!

Debate getting fairly good play here in Japan today:

Isn’t that what America is all about:))) Poetic JUSTICE!

[AmericanInTokyo]

This needs to be the REDEFINITION if there is any hope of Obama being defeated.

The funny thing is... If memory serves correct, this was brought on Obama from his own political stunt (and of course his leftist views.) Wasn't Obama showing his main stream media followers that he would reach down to the "common folk" and banter with them door to door...

Looks like it backfired. I bet Obama will kick himself back Illinois after this election. He brought this on himself.

[Hanna548]

Oh I bet someone kicked his rear the minute they got him away from ole’ Joe. LOL, man would I liked to have been a fly on THAT wall;)

[dr_lew]

Well, ジョー is just "Joe", right? I don't see "san". I also see ブッシュ大 several times. This is Bush(big), i.e. President Bush, right? What's that about?

[AmericanInTokyo]

They are in a pickle, arent they!? LOLO. If they (Obamatrons) try to attack that Joe the Plumber with dirty tricks, digging dirt, smears, dismissing him, talking down about him, etc., then they will expose themselves as the elitists they are, and also piss off the millions of other Joe the Plumbers, which is the middle ground of voters they are precisely trying to get! What a predicament! And, on the other hand, they cannot shut up either but have to fend off the Plumber Attacks somehow. This is great. Get out the popcorn!

[Global2010]

Hey all us Joes here Must Stand up and Say Leave us Out of your POTUS campaign BS!

[Global2010]

Good one!

Leave us out of it!

(I think it is sans with the s)

[AmericanInTokyo]

correct

[singfreedom]

I guess now poor “Joe” is going to be given the “Sarah Palin treatment” by the DUmmies.

[proudtobeanamerican1]

I said that earlier! Get Joe the Plumber out there with Sarah!

[feedback doctor]

New PBS poll! No, not Sarah this time:
