Joe the Plumber is the most important person ever

Joe the Plumber is the only undecided voter left in the country. Joe the Plumber clearly has some thinking to do. Joe the Plumber has no last name. Joe the Plumber is the light, forever and ever. All hail Joe the Plumber.

John McCain just staked the rest of his campaign and the future of the country on one guy, Joe the Plumber, who apparently makes more than $250,000 and is really worried about capital gains taxes. Good luck with that.

UPDATE: CBS snap poll = Obama wins 53-22; CNN snap poll = Obama wins 58-31.

Taegan Goddard is one of my most trusted nonpartisan analysts and his take calls this as it was: McCain’s best debate still revealed the key differences between the candidates, and those differences show Obama as what most voters are looking for. He’s cool under pressure, reassuring and smart. You know, presidential.

  1. If he is currently working for the company that he plans to buy, and worked straight time only, he is earning 120.20/hour which means that his company is builling at least $240.00/hr for the labor. Having lived in Ohio before moving back to MN, I do not know of any location that a plumber company could stay alive at that billing rate. Assuming that 50% of that wage was overtime and he was paid time and a half for overtime, then he would be earning $48.10/hr straight time and the billing time would be $100.00/hr with probably an emergency charge of $30.00/hr for the overtime hours. Of course these are all low, because the $250000.00 is adjusted earning which are less than what was earned.

  2. Joe Wurzelbacher is the guy’s name.

    It looks like he was a hero on Fox News.

    Mr. Wurzelbacher was more restrained when being interviewed by the real media after tonight’s debate.

  4. The news media (http://cbs5.com/campaign08/joe.the.plumber.2.842355.html) is now reporting that “independent undecided” voter Samuel Joesph Wurzelbacher (aka John McCain’s “Joe the Plumber”) is actually a longtime registered Republican.

    He makes under $250,000 a year. He does not hold a plumber’s license. And, the firm he works for – and supposedly wanted to buy – is not licensed.

    Oh, and he owes $1,200 in back taxes.

    It sounds like he could use the Obama tax cuts.

    No wonder Fox “Newz” was there to record his meeting with Barack Obama. I would expect to see him as a Fox “Newz” commentator soon.
