Look, if he's a shill, he's a shill. The people are not as dumb as you want to believe.

Perhaps, just perhaps he started out truly asking a question he believed. He got all kinds of attention for it, attention he did not expect. Then he starts talking and people see he spoke on emotion and may not be all that informed. But instead of letting McCain roll with it and looking a fool bringing him up.... you have to destroy this guy.

Why?

You're way ahead in the polls, I seriously doubt what he says will change many votes.... it's not exactly a Willie Horton/Swift Boat/Donna Rice issue that will hurt or even dent Obama's campaign..... unless he continues to rip this guy.

My feeling is most people can see what Joe the Plumber has become.... however, they still maybe able to somehow identify with him {which is what the GOP want} and by ripping him, destroying him.... you end up hurting yourself.... if you acknowledge his original question and answer it and let your answer be all the acknowledgment that he gets..... you pretty much end the whole Joe the Plumber issue and it goes away.

And Smooth I am sorry about an slight if you can link where I did not respond to you, I'dbe more than happy to.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
