this guy really knows how to handle himself under some tough questioning & debates... he laid out that plan for any average guy to understand perfectly... the point about how the plumber's business is actually going to benefit because his customers that make less than he does will have more money to spend on getting their pipes fixed was genius.

Wasn't there a follow up "mini investigation" on this Joe dude and not only does he not own that buiseness but his annual salary is nowhere near 250K. Methinks Joe got paid nicely to do this whole thing.

Yeah, he caused him to think bigger than his own business, which is usually why successful businesses grow and become stronger. He showed him the bigger picture and that's why I think he understands. Joe was only thinking of himself and not the bigger picture.
I've lost a little respect for McCain in the last debate for trying to spread fear, instead of good level headed policy. Palin just makes me nervous. And I still warn all Obama supporters not' to take this election lightly. I still say it's a lot closer for other reasons other than policy. And that's why I liked Joe the plumber interview. It helped ease some of those fears. [Edited by - 4949 on 10-19-2008 09:00 AM] I'll never trust this' team again.

Posted by ramtour420: Joe, in his own words said 'he's getting ready to buy the company'. And I think we should stick to the content of the interview, rather than try to make it into a tabloid. I'll never trust this' team again.

What are you talking about? I am voting for Obama, and I thought Obama did outstanding in that interview.

Posted by Allanfan20: I think there's a little misunderstanding here. All I'm saying 'it was a good interview to acknowledge'. I think the Joe the plumber interview paid off nicely. And we'll just leave it at that. I'll never trust this' team again.

i get what you're saying & i agree... it really doesn't make a difference if the guy was a real plumber or paid off by the McCain camp to try & ambush him w/a tough question... the fact is he handled himself great & gave a great answer that pretty much p'wned the guy asking it.
