Joe the Plumber and Debate Spin

The debate season is over. FINALLY!!! My scorecard says that McCain won the first debate, Palin won the V-P debate, McCain and Obama fought to a draw in the 2nd debate, and Obama won the third. Why? Too many references to Joe the Plumber and other irrelevant points.

After the debate, the media destroyed the person known as Joe the Plumber. The media dug into his personal life and found that he could not afford the small business he wanted to buy on his working class salary and that he was not even licensed to be a plumber. Thus, Joe the Plumber will become a footnote to this election of ups and downs.

The one thing that angered me about the debates is the reference made by Obama that a spending freeze would be applying a hatchet to where a scalpel is needed. To be quite honest, the budget deficit will be about $1 trillion in the red for the next fiscal years. Five or 6 hatchets will be needed to cut all that excessive drain on the budget.

It looks like Obama will win the election unless something dramatically happens.

Didn't watch any of the debates so i'll accept Warren's analysis.
