McCain slips, almost credits ‘Joe the Bomber’ for rise in polls.»

During an interview with a local Norfolk, VA ABC affiliate last week, John McCain was asked why he was not beating Barack Obama in the state, considering Virginia has voted for a Republican president in every election since 1964. McCain replied that he is doing better in more recent polling and nearly cited “Joe the Bomber” as the reason. He quickly corrected himself, saying “Uh — Joe the Plumber”:

Q: With Virginia a reliably red state dating all the way back to 1964, how come you’re not doing better in the polls in Virginia?

MCCAIN: We’re doing much better actually, there’s a poll out today that shows we’re within about three so we’re moving up and moving up fast. And look, Joe the Bomb — uh — Joe the Plumber turned the whole thing around.

1. I can't believe the lying crap I'm hearing from McNutJob today.

Wait. Yes. I can believe it. You can't be a republican unless you are a liar and support killing as many people as you can that do not believe the way you do. :dem:

2. Ah Heck, Obama thinks he is in Ohio

Ah heck, just a slip of the tongue. Tired, just like Obama in Florida today. Obama thanked the audience for being Ohio. Off the teleprompter, and tired is all.
