Joe The Plumber Derangement Syndrome Could Be The Gift McCain's Been Waiting For

Some elitist disparagement from The One. Post contains this statement from the McCain campaign:

“It’s an outrage that the Obama campaign and the media are attacking Joe the Plumber for asking a legitimate question of a presidential candidate. This is why voters still have so many questions about Barack Obama. Instead of answering tough questions, his campaign attacks average Americans for daring to look at the reality behind his words, said Tucker Bounds, spokesman the McCain-Palin campaign. “John McCain will continue to fight on behalf of all hardworking Americans like Joe for policies geared toward increasing prosperity and reducing the burden on taxpayers — not ’spreading the wealth around’ for Senator Government to distribute as he sees fit.”

It's interesting. When the real issues cannot gain any traction on a rational basis, sometimes something symbolic makes all the difference.

Hi ,

Thanks for writing such an interesting article. It’s really good to know about the real estate and home decoration and renovation in detail. At some point in time every Berkeley homeowner is going to need a plumber. The convenience of plumbing can become a nightmare without proper up-keep. Water in the wrong place can be disastrous and what starts out as a tiny drip if left without repair can end up costing thousands over time. Providing the right solution here Berkeley plumber .
