stunt ever pulled? I mean it kinda worked for maybe a day or two, but they just kept it up like a broken record. And when they lost he was totally forgotten.

3. And the thing is, the guy is a fraud
Every thinking person knew that, but the campaign kept throwing him out there. Stupid, stupid McCain.

4. i keep thinking of the debate and McCain's "Joe, your rich, congratulations"
it didn't even work for a day. Obama easily won that debate. the thing never worked.

6. did you read the Newsweek piece
that explained how Lindsey Graham and McCain couldn't sleep, so Lindsey "stumbled to McCain's hotel room", and McCain mentioned something about Joe the plumber, and Lindey and Cindy McCain said "What?? Joe the plumber? BRILLIANT!" So the plot was hatched by Cindy, Lindsey and McCain to bring it up into the debate...what idiots!

7. hard to say in a campaign that raised "lame" to such a high art.
which lame part of the campaign was lamer than the other lame parts of the campaign?

9. It was hilariously bad. My fave, though, is when he was a no-show at the McCain even and McCain was
all, "Joe? Joe, where are you, Joe?" And then he says, "Well, you're ALL Joe! So stand up and thank yourselves!" Priceless.

10. Then it got better...
they turned McCain's embarrassing improv into their mantra

we got a robo-call that said "Hi my name is Ann and I am Joe the plumber...
