more on Joe the plumber

Making my view that there are too many pundits on tv, the panel of "experts" in all the news channels I watched all proclaimed as the winner of the last presidential debate in 2008 Joe "the plumber" Wurzelbacher. Joe is a plumber who talked with Obama for a few minutes earlier this week in Ohio. He claimed, during the exchange, that Obama's tax plan will keep him from buying a plumbing business.



During last night's debate, McCain and Obama both mentioned Joe's name no fewer than ten times. Since this morning, we got to learn a few more things about Joe.
First, he admitted that he does not yet make enough to cross the $250,000 threshold. In fact, he will end up getting a tax cut under Obama's plan.

He doesn't have a plumbing license, but said he doesn't need one because he works for someone else.

He also said in an interview that, he felt that Obama tap-danced like Sammy Davis, Jr instead of answering his questions directly.



Looks like the McCain campaign did as good a job vetting Joe as they did Palin. Nice try, though.
