Joe "the plumber" ask Obama about how his taxes would be increased if he bought a business. Obama made an unfortunate comment sharing his philosophy about "sharing the wealth". Well this hasn't gone down well with some of the public. So now the media is digging up dirt on "Joe". That he hasn't achieved his plumber licence and that he had a tax lien in the past. Just shows you have to be careful getting in front of the liberal media steamroller.
By the way, it appears a reporter was mistaken when he thought he heard someone shot "kill him" at a Palin rally.
A senior Secret Service agent said allegations that a man yelled 'kill him" when Barack Obama's name was referenced Tuesday during a Sarah Palin rally are "unfounded," reports the Timesleader.com, a Northeastern Pennsylvania news agency.
Agent Bill Slavoski -- who was standing in the audience along with other Secret Service agents during the rally in Scranton, Pa. -- said neither he nor the other officers heard the comment, according to the report published Thursday.
"said he could not find anyone other than the Scranton Times-Tribune's reporter to corroborate the story."

Wisdom of the Crowd - Poll Results
Though our sample is small, the crowd wisdom is that Obama needs a lead of 4-5% in the polls. Using Real Clear Politics, this gives Obama a 286 to 252 win. If you add a 3% margin of error, the race is still a toss up.
New Poll Question
Obama said he would raise the capital gain tax even if it brings in less overall revenue because it would fair. Do you think it is better for the government to maximize revenue or to achieve social fairness?
Murtha Watch - He calls western PA racist.

Murtha is already being sued for slander by a soldier. I wonder if he will experience any backlash at the ballot box.

McCain says would eliminate ethanol tariff

Eliminating the ethanol tariff is a good idea. It keeps gasoline prices high. It encourages the use of corn for fuel, which increases food prices. Not only are corn prices higher, so is the price of everything that eats corn, like chicken and hogs.
