Question about the Obama-"Joe" the "plumber" video.
Edited on Thu Oct-16-08 04:36 PM by ColbertWatcher
Starting at about 4:45 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFC9jv9jfoA), Obama says,
"I respect what you do, and I respect your question, and even if I don't get your vote, I'm still gonna be working hard on your behalf."


How did Obama know this guy would not be voting for him? Did "Joe" the "plumber" say he wasn't during a part of the tape that I missed? Was it just an educated guess on Obama's part? Was Obama just being cautious?

Anyone know how Obama knew this guy wasn't voting for him?

1. I read that to say: "even IF I don't get your vote".....
That doesn't say "I know you won't vote for me". Big difference.
