I was heavily leaning toward Obama, but the third debate closed the deal. McCain pandered to and about a citizen whose identity and grievances he possibly knew were ficticious. It's not that he and Palin are dumb, I think; it's that they think the American people (well, those that Sarah Palin considers the "real Americans," anyway, are morons. Joe the Plumber seems to have been vetted even less than Palin was (is this what you call "negative vetting?") Really am looking forward to reading more reviews when you get a chance to write them. I just saw the photos of Star Trek XI in this week's Entertainment Weekly Star Trek article, and so far, I am impressed (of course, it's too early to tell, but when I first saw the "advance" photos of Sybok and Shinzon, I was already worried). Dan Hey Jammer,

I'm sure Joe's moral support to one, or both, of them on election day will mean a lot more than his ballot would have. Is Joe Biden technically Joe Six-Pack? He looks like a beer-drinker. There are only two weeks left, but I'm sure the Democrats will turn this into an ad somehow... It's nice to see McCain and Obama going after the always-underserved Unregistered Voter demographic.

Don't ever go and ask wierd questions to a presidential candidate! If they mention you at a debate the media will kill you. How did Joe ever get passed the people that screen these people, anyway? Both Obama and McCain have people that you have to get through to talk to them. They wanna make sure crazy's don't get through (Don't want people yelling insane things) and they also want to make sure no questions that the candidate doesn't want to answer. Somebody at Obamas campaign goofed by letting Joe by. I like the media onslaught on Joe that's happening now. Don't ever go and ask wierd questions to a presidential candidate!

THAT Charles Keating. You're right. Joe is America. Joe is more America than you know.
