 What evidence are you offering that shows what you claim? 
 
 Joe is not the guy's real first name. 
  
 So what? 
  
 He's not a licensed plumber. 
  
 So what? 
  
 His boss is not a licensed plumber 
  
 So what? 
  
  
 Therefore, the business is running illegally. 
  
 And should pay the consequences. 
  
 Further, the business *grossed* about $100,000 a year and "Joe" earned  
 about $40,000 a year. He would have benefited from Obama's tax play. 
 
  
  
 The truth shall set you free. 
  
  
 The "truth" is that from a political point of view,  Joe SixPack  
 understands and can relate to Joe the Plumber in a much more intimate way  
 than the politicians who are trying to use him as an example for their  
 political agenda.  Furthermore, their reaction is often to get ****ed off at  
 the big, bad political blowhards picking on the average citizen. 
  
 If McCain's camp was behind this, it was a move of pure brilliance.   He  
 seems to understand Joe Average Citizen much better than the Obama camp.  
 Kinda significant, if you think about it.   It's why Kerry and Gore both  
 failed. 
  
 Even the empty headed  Palin is still causing Obama supporters heartburn.  
 Why?   Because the majority of the public can relate to her. 
  
 It's politics played well.   Cerebral criticism against Joe the Plumber or  
 Sarah Palin  only serves to annoy and helps McCain. 
  
 It's fascinating to watch.

As far as I have seen, Palin appeals only to the basest of the base, and  
if McCain loses, her selection will be listed as one of the significant  
reasons. The majority of the public thinks she is an empty-headed  
opportunist.
