Tennesseans talking about Joe the plumber

Joe the plumber became a household name after last week's presidential debate with McCain saying his name over 20 times. He has appeared on television shows, in newspapers, and all over the internet. The Tennessean reported that "Middle Tennessee 'Joe the plumbers' pipe up on debate".  In interviewing a few Joe's that are also plumbers in Tennessee, the newspaper got a sense that the questions initiated by Joe the plumber to Obama has stirred up conversations about Obama's tax plans to many people who usually have not paid attention to the election in the past. While some argue that McCain will actually be hurt by the use of his Joe the plumber example because of the scrutiny Joe has gotten since the debate, it seems as though it is getting people more interested in the candidates positions.
