Joe the Game Changer?

If John McCain wins the election in three weeks it will be because Sarah Palin kept his campaign alive long enough for Joe the plumber to come onto the seen. Joe is the guy from Ohio who challenged Barack Obama on the campaign trail last week about his plan to increase taxes on small business owners like himself. Obama in a rare moment of candor acknowledged that he would indeed like to redistribute Joe's hard earned income. As a result Joe instantaneously changed the terms of the economic debate from the Democrats' war on the rich, to their insatiable desire to take control of every regular Joe's income to use as they see fit. Indeed, Joe was referenced several times in tonight's presidential debate, and this was not to Obama's benefit.

Unfortunately, Joe will need to watch his back between now and November 4th. You remember that army of Democrat operatives that just finished looking under every rock in Wasila Alaska to no effect? Well they are on the way to Ohio. You cannot threaten the chosen one and expect to come out of it unscathed.
