It could be softened like that. But nobody ever gets ahead by following followers. And ‘indepentents’ and ‘moderates’ are followers.

If you lead, they will follow. If you let them lead, you go nowhere.

It's important now to make people realize that

a) Obama is a man of poor judgement

b) He's just another lying politician

He gave us great ammo last night on the later count, with his very direct, articulate and incontrovertiable LIE about his only connection with ACORN being his one lawsuit in 1995.

Not up with spelling. Heh. The "correct" spelling one has been in use since 2004.

God bless Joe Wurzelbacher, but he's about to get the Palin treatment.

He's going to get a media rectal exam that makes the Clarence Thomas hearings look like a walk in the park.

He's a legitimate threat to Obama because he puts a face on Obama's tax plan. He's about to get unloaded upon.

Does anyone know...is Joe the Plumber getting local airtime in Ohio? If he’s become a bit of a celebrity now, and is getting some attention for his conversation with Obama, couldn’t that help McCain’s cause? We could really use Ohio in the “red” column...

"How did Joe the Plumber escape the socialist indoctrination "

Easy...he ran his own business.

Everybody should be pushed to start their own business.

Even if it doesn't work out, it's a fantastic education that's worth the losses!!! Even if you fail, you win!!

Yeah. Joe the symbol. Symbol of what?

After the debate last night, he said he'd made up his mind who he was supporting, but wouldn't say who he would actually vote for. Someone at Politico found out why. He's not registered to vote.

From what he says, I guess that he supports McCain, but not in anyway that will count on November 4th. Pretty sad that this guy gets held up at emblematic of America. Complain, complain, complain, but don't actually do anything to help.

If Obama wins Ohio, don't forget to drop Joe a note of thanks.

Keith Obamaman is the invisible one. Most Americans wouldn’t be able to identify him in a photo. He and his butch buddy, Madcow, might as well be drawing a paycheck from the Obama campaign.

IN all seriousness, I would love to see a Palin/Jindahl ticket.

You are so right. Entrepreneurship should be taught in school as the assumed path one will take in life . . . rather than the outdated worker-bee/factory drone approach that I assume still pervades the public school system.

“Reviewing the polls printed in The New York Times and The Washington Post in the last month of every presidential election since 1976, I found the polls were never wrong in a friendly way to Republicans. When the polls were wrong, which was often, they overestimated support for the Democrat, usually by about 6 to 10 points”. Ann Coulter

...We need to keep away from the double digit leads. “Joe the plumber” will help a great deal. Just as Sarah Palin resonates with the the avaerage American, so will Joe. He needs to go on tour with McCain. Palin does fine on her own. McCain needs the “juice” of “Joe”.

He couldn’t articulate what Joe just did. He couldn’t even call it socialism.

Calling it socialism won't work (even though that's the truth). Republicans have used that playbook for decades and when people hear it, their eyes glaze over. In two paragraphs, Joe explained it in real terms that even a 5 year old could understand.

Conservatives really need to learn some new political jargon. Joe gave them some ideas.

If Joe is a small business owner as he claims, I doubt he has much free time to waste helping McCain. We know he is not wealthy, no matter how much Obama wants the nation to think he is. Joe’s main priority would be taking care of his business and keeping the money rolling in.

McCain is a big boy and he needs to step up to the plate.

Let Joe take care of his family.
