Joe the Plumber is the New Sarah the Governor

So Barack Obama last week was in Ohio and met this plumber, his name was Joe Wurzelbacher.

John McCain having never actually met Joe, used him as a prop in last night’s debate. It was like the dueling bracelets, thing last time. So McCain throws Joe – say it ain’t so – into the debate about taxes and small businesses. Both candidates end up addressing Joe directly.

Joe it turns out, is a perfect talking points guy.
