Don’t expect any recommends. Many of us are not willing to just roll over and hope for the best while preparing for the worst.

Many of us are still in the fight–why have you given up so fast?

Oe the plumber has put himself out there. He’s doing interviews, impropmtu pressers, what not. The guy will be fine. And the left attacks him at their own peril.

As for you, keep it to yourself if you can’t be positive. I had high hopes for you this AM, but not any more.

Unrecommend.

Joe is much more likely to be looked back at as the turning point that led McCain to victory.

And I’m pretty confident that Joe is going to be just fine. His Youtube segment had plenty of views prior to McCain’s comment. And now he will have an even longer moment of fame.

For the record, I got an email from the McCain Florida operation this morning, and they have set up a hotline for other “Joe’s” to call in with their stories.

The more the left attacks this guy, the more McCain is going up in the polls.

I hope this wasn’t the stupidest thing John McCain ever did — by singling out this guy and having the New York Times feature him on the front page so he can have his house blown up.

So far from what I’ve seen people want to boil him in oil on the Left, and this guy is probably going to need some help.

If Joe is “destroyed” I think we can find plenty of people willing to start a company called “That Joe Guy, LLC” and everything will turn out fine.

Dems mention their annectdotal stories all the time. What you propose is unilateral surrender.

Joe, speaks up….Macain references this exchange….the Left is out to ruin Joe….so it is Macains fault…..just like lib to pass of the responsiblity.

As C17wife said, “the left attacks him at their own peril.” Joe can take it, because Americans still root for the underdog, and Obama’s minions tend to go over the top in situations like this.

What Americans don’t do anymore is fear the camera, and by extension, the media. Years of “reality” shows, cheap video cameras amd now cell-phone cameras have cured our culture of stage fright. Nobody looks uncomfortable in front of the camera anymore. We all mug for it now and hope for our 15 minutes. Joe’s getting his, and he and his family won’t be permanently traumatized; they know how this game is played. You can pity Joe and scold McCain, as long as you help vote Obama off the show.

Joe will be just fine. If I were him, I’d move to Texas, Utah or somewhere in the common sense midwest and start his plumbing business right now. He’s getting all kinds of free advertising right now on Rush and Sean et. al. . He needs to strike while the fires hot. This is an opportunity for him, not a hindrance.

when she was good she was very, very good, but when she was bad she was awful.

I don’t know what debate you were watching, but we were watching Sen McCain scoring points on issue after issue. I would have loved to see him hit harder, but I could FEEL Americans running to their computers and GOOGLING Ayers and ACORN and Joe the plumber.

He set in motion a fundamental change in this campaign….

Joe will be fine. He has many more friends looking out for him now, maybe even a law-enforcement shadow. (And lead pipes can be dangerous to one’s health.) My wife and I were going to see McCain tomorrow, and we were trying to come up with our own Joe question, but one that would give McCain a chance to say something good.

At any rate- the responsibility for the potential repercussions rests with first the drive-bys, and secondly with Joe.

To whatever degree McCain is responsible, well lets just say his responsibility quotient is completely usurped by that of the media. Particularly in light of the fact that Joe has been putting himself out there- including prior to the debate.

This might offend some- but too bad because it is as true as true can be. To put primary responsibility for Joe’s problems on McCain is like blaming the targeted terrorist killings for retaliatory bus or market suicide bombings. You gots the wrong onus!
