Joe The Plumber
The third and final presidential debate between Democratic candidate Barack Obama and Republican candidate John McCain occured on October 15th. There seemed to be a focus on many things, including "Joe the Plumber", Joe Wurzelbacher, who is getting his fifteen minutes of fame. He was mentioned appproximately 25 times in the debate by both candidates. John McCain, however, was the first to mention him. He was almost exclusively discussed when the candidates were debating taxes and the economy. McCain accused Obama of making Joe pay a fine and "spread his wealth around". Obama, however, repeatedly denied such claims. MSNBC tracked down Wurzelbacher. They interviewed him, and he, previously uncommited, now supports John McCain. When will the Joe the Plumber story be "in the toilet". The world may never know.
