1. He's toast because he's a gambler and he blew his handle.
He's got nothing left. He's flat busted.

4. No.
I think that Joe the plumber will fade quickly. It was dumb, but not that important.

Pounding on the Ayers non-issue along with other smears and ignoring the concerns of voters are what is hurting McCain. Obama may have schooled him in the debate, but I don't see the ads going away. That is what is sinking the McCain campaign right now. Attack, attack, attack, but very little to nothing about his platform.

People are scared and want answers. And all McCain is giving them is bullshit.

There are still three weeks left and we'll see how it pans out.

The election is over regardless of McClown's Joe nonsense. He just can't resist some guys named Je, I guess,

7. It depends on if the MSM tears down that particular "Joe the Plumber" person and shows that:
1.) He's pretty much already a Republican that likely was never going to vote for Obama.

2.) He's not even registered to vote in the state of Ohio.

3.) He's not going to be an actual plumber, but just own a plumbing business. So he himself won't be snaking any drains.

4.) He's connected to Charles Keating just as much as John McCain is connected to Keating.
