Even Joe the Plumber is writing McCain off. Say it ain't so, Joe.
Joe the Plumber conceded Monday night that Republican John McCain has a slim chance of defeating Democrat Barack Obama in the race for the White House.
Joe Wurzelbacher, the unemployed Ohio plumber who was thrust into the national spotlight in late September after quizzing Mr. Obama about his tax policy, made his prediction on the upcoming presidential election while be interviewed on Inside the Beltway Radio.

Are you and many others “born-again atheists”, if Barack Obama ends up winning?
You say you’ve been “poking around” FR since 2004, and yet you did not realize your integrity may be questioned as a result of your posts?
Some of your words:
“Even Joe the Plumber is writing McCain off??? Say it ain’t so, Joe.”
“I’m not a high McCain fan.”
“I do feel McCain will lose in NV and CO”
You are entitled to your opinions, and I don’t begrudge any conservative for voting their conscience, but I am suspect when a newbie appears under false pretenses. The timing of your membership as well as your posts leave me wondering.
And then Joe should of said, “And Israel starts bombing Iran on November 5!”
I see. I’ll clarify.
I failed to express my sentiments clearly. What I meant is this; if a newbie’s integrity or sincerity is called into question at FR as a result of their comments, and they are truly a supporter of conservative values, they will endure the questioning and criticism here, especially during the presidential elections when emotions are running high (namely, this particular election, with so much at stake).
“with the rest of us who’ve done the same.”
I should have stated that there are a number of us who have had heated exchanges with other members, and yet, we did not run away because our views were not widely accepted, or because someone got flamed.
Liberals generally have a thin skin (like Hussein). When there’s too much heat, they scamper. They are so used to the “collective” mentality that when they are the lone voice whining in the FR wilderness, they cry and run to their DU sites to find a cyber shoulder to weep on.
This newbie will stick around it he/she is real.
Hope this helped.
He said “darn tight”
The MSM says “chances slim”
Hmmmm...not exactly the same thing now is it?
“Darn tight” means it’s close for the other guy too.
“Chances slim” means the other guy pretty much has it in the bag.
It seems like the question he asked Joe was very pregnant, no?
You will be showered with this stuff. The left has taken over the mass media — stop going there expecting something different.
I would like to know why there are so many negative posts here tonight.
Is it time to clean house, mods?
Or is it the self-loathing, “nice-guy” Republicans on parade?
“Back in my modding days (elsewhere), I would have been zotting them left and right by now.”
Where the hell are the FR mods?
I don't get it...
Perhaps the mods are so busy trying to keep FR from crashing during this election that they simply don’t have the time or enough man to monitor all these Troll’s.
I'm not on the inside of the FR underground complex, so I really don't have a clue.
I will say though (as an old mod) that sometimes the mods and the owners get together and subtly shift the policy to allow more freedom of speech.
Usually, they're conducting an intel mission of some sort when they do that. Especially at conservative boards.
Then again, it may be so busy that they just can't keep up.
That may well be the case. Could be a pre-housecleaning maneuver.
McCain has been written off before.
“That may well be the case. Could be a pre-housecleaning maneuver.”
Sounds like fun.
Hey mods...hiring?
Take heart Joe. This year it's...
Meanwhile, back at the B.S. factory;;;
The polls are getting tighter, hang in there, MIRACLES can happen.
Thank-you! Just got up!
Great McCain/Palin sign!
The media will do anything to depress the VOTE!
