A few thoughts on the presidential debate last night: I thought it was a good debate -- certainly much better than the last one. Obama seemed to be relatively reserved -- a good strategy since it's his race to lose. I thought McCain was much more cordial to Obama before and after the debate than last time.
Here's what Joe the Plumber thought.
Bottom Line: McCain needed to knock the debate way out of the ball park and didn't. Obama has won. (Actually, he did some time ago.)

The funny thing is that Joe is not a plumber, but a contractor. He has no plumbing license, which is required in his city.
In fact his real first name is Sam.
He makes about 40k a year which would mean he would come out ahead under Obama's tax cut rather than McCain's.
And the company he dreams of buying one day makes about 100k a year, and so if that dream comes true, again, he'll benefit more under the Obama plan.
Too funny.
