Meh, we all knew JTP liked McC.

No race-changing movements is truly EXCELLENT

I'm liking the new ad. Your own words against you Mr. McCaint.

Maverick my a$$.

You have to step back and just acknowledge the Obama campaign.

This Mccain footage in the commercial has been out there for months but Obama held back using it into the very end knowing at some point McCain was really going to start to try to seperate himself from Bush.

Just a brilliant ad

So, let me get the wealthy plumber's claim correct: I won't be taxed more under Obama's plan, but I'm afraid he'll raise my taxes anyway, despite any proof.

Oh yeah, *that* doesn't sound like a Republican talking point.

I hope Obama can put out more effective ads about taxation. He was fine on it last night, but I hope he can be more forceful that McCain wants to give the vast majority of Americans *less* of a tax break. I don't think most low info voters know this.

I can't believe that Repubs are going back to this tired crap again.

Joe is a WATERGATE plumber.

That's why he's trying to figure out what to do with all his cash.

If you guys need a good laugh check out the crazy Dick Morris is putting out. He's got Obama winning Arizona. Even Mondale thinks that would be pathetic.

"But, you know, question, so he's going to do that now (raise taxes) for people who make $250,000 a year. When's he going to decide that $100,000 is too much, you know? I mean, you're on a slippery slope here. "

By this logic, shouldn't you be not taxing anyone anything?

Game 6 of the World Series to start 15 minutes later because of Obama's 30-min address.

Wow, Joe the Plumber is an idiot. But hey, if he likes voting against his own self-interest, go right ahead.

I'm sure I'm not the first to say it nor will I be the last, but I feel compelled to say that the people running Obama's campaign (including Obama of course) are geniuses.

The story of this campaign and the differences between Obama's (steady, controlled, focused, cool, confident) and McCain's (erratic, out of control, unfocused, emotional, desperate) is going to make somebody a very rich author.

Joe the Plumber may be a McCain plant. At least that's what Jed Lewison at JedReport is suggesting. Seems that McCain's folks probably tracked Joe down right after learning about Obama's conversation with him a few days ago.

LOVE the reaction shots of McShame that they weaved into the ad. Reinforces how unhinged and odd he appeared during the debate.

That Obama ad is beautiful. The debate was the setup--the ad is the punchline.

Great, great ad. Now, if Sarah Palin would only appear on Face the Nation, we could all take a break until the election.

We do not want to belittle Joe, but, he STILL does not understand Barack's plan??

The here-and-now truth could not be simpler: Under Obama he gets a tax BREAK. Under McCain he does NOT. Rich people and corporations do.

If Joe is fortunate enough to move into the $250k tax bracket, then GOOD for him. That is a fair graduate tax rate that benefits everyone.

Do you think JTP will get anymore MSM interviews after comparing Obama to Sammy Davis Jr.?

He displays another aspect of low information voters that really pisses me off. What're you gonna do for me PERSONALLY? The guy claims he doesn't make more than $250,000, but some day he might and he doesn't want to pay taxes on it. For god's sake, we are a nation of over 350 million people! Do these idiots actually believe that the president should make sure each and everyone of us should get everything we want? What is this, kindergarten? Jeez.

Joe the Plumber,

Would it make you feel better if Obama jacked it up to $500,000? But then of course, people making $500,001 would feel picked on. And, once you've made it to that level, you wouldn't be getting the tax cut anymore. You'd have to pay taxes at the same level as people did back during the Clinton administration. Wow. How did rich people survive back then. It must have been awful.

Seriously, Joe, you might be one of the Americans that Phil Gramm was talking about. Why don't you stop your goddam whining and start giving a shit about the rest of the country and not just yourself. Bush started with a budget surplus. He's run up a deficit for his entire two terms and it just broke the record. What a coincidence. We just happened to have massive tax cuts for the wealthiest 1% during that time. Could it be? Might there be some connection between a huge loss of revenue for the federal government and a huge increase in debt?

Cry me a fuckin' river, Joe.

My brother's an independent who has leaned Republican for years. I watched the debate with him last night, and here's what he said: McCain is too old, keeps flogging dead horses, makes odd and sometimes bizarre assertions, and comes across as goofy. He likes Obama, felt he clearly won the debate -- and will be voting for him in November.

Speaking of the Al Smith Dinner:

Oct. 20, 2000 (CBS) The Al Smith dinner, hosted by Archbishop Edward Egan, is a traditional forum for presidential candidates, although in past years, the abortion issue has kept some candidates away.
The event is named for the former New York governor who was the first Roman Catholic ever to be nominated for president.
The presidential candidates came well-armed with jokes, often poking fun at themselves.
Bush gazed around the diamond-studded $800-a-plate crowd and commented on the wealth on display.
"This is an impressive crowd - the haves and the have-mores," quipped the GOP standard-bearer. "Some people call you the elites; I call you my base."

Last night I thought McCain was tap dancing like Maurice Chevalier.

I learned one of my first important lessons in politics at an Al Smith dinner nearly 40 years ago. I was a young reporter, sitting next to a grizzled old pro. This was a classy affair. They fed the press the same prime rib that the whatever-it-was-a-late crowd. The waiter approached to ask if we were ready to be served.

"Can I get an end cut?" my older companion asked. Then he turned to me. "I always order the end cut at affairs like this," he explained, "because they have to go about two ribs in to get that shade of pink they like, so I get twice as much to eat."

And I have bee ordering end cuts at banquets ever since.

That ad: Game, Set, Match for Obama.

Why is it that Joe the Plumber can have a news conference and Sarah Palin cannot?

McCain will give all the nodes to the rich people . . .

This election is about a lot more than that of just economics. We are at war and everyone should question whether Obama has the integrity and ability to lead this nation at this time. And, would he keep this country safe, or will his affiliations with radicals/terrorist lead to more devastation? In my opinion, I don't believe he has what it takes. Let me explain another connection to a radical/terrorist. In 2006, Obama campaigned for a relative in Kenya, who was running for the Presidency. Obama's cousins name is Raila Odinga. Subsequently, Odinga lost by 230,000 or so votes. He did not accept the loss. So he called for demonstrations by his political supporters who in turn committed ethnic cleansing and genocide. Point blank, this guy tried to subvert the election process and use blackmail until he got what he wanted. Here is a video that gives a good accounting of the events along with photo's as proof of Obama and Odinga campaigning together. And Obama, used U.S. taxpayer money for this and his Senatorial position to help this terrorist.

Proof that this "awesome zinger" isn't going to get much traction.

"Joe the plumber" just did an extended interview that I saw on MSNBC. He seemed really scary today. One reporter asked him about his voter registration and he belongs to some type of "independence" fringe party. He doesn't believe in Social Security, and got a little ticked off during the interview as reporters pressed him. A little weird. I wish I had a link, but I am sure one will be up shortly. I am more convinced than ever that he is a "plant" but I am even more convinced that he is from some fringe group. He needs to be exposed!

Not only is the guy who fixes toilets for McCain, he may have had his head in one for a while because some Ohioans have looked at the voter rolls and can't find Joe on 'em. For more on this and actual analysis of the debate, go to RealityChex.com at http://www.realitychex.com

Expect to see Joe the Plumber on the campaign trail as a sidekick to Trig the Unaborted Gift from God.

He looks like a Skinhead for McCain (or Anybody But That One).

Great ad Obama campaign. Thanks. I was thinking the same thing. Great to make while McCain's comment will be fresh on people's minds.

How about one wiht McCain being 3 for 3? He never mentioned "middle-class" in any of the 3 debates.

... McCain boasting during the primaries that he's voted with Bush over 90% of the time.

So, what's worse?

McSame voting like a Bush clone, or him thinking that's something to brag about?

That's simply just a great f'in ad.

Defuses the whole "I'm not Bush" line from debate, shows several of McCain's weird facial expressions during the debate, uses McCain's own boast against him, and, damn, they got this puppy out there fast.
