Joe The Plumber Ditches McCain (VIDEO)

John McCain announced that Joe the Plumber was at his rally in Defiance, Ohio Thursday morning. But when McCain called on the campaign poster-man to stand up, he wasn't there. "Joe, where are you? Is Joe here with us today? Joe, I thought you were here today," McCain said. When there was no response, he added, "Alright, well, you're all Joe the Plumber so all of you stand up!" Watch:

McCain campaign officials later said that Joe was slated to appear with McCain at a different campaign event on Thursday.

VIDEO - Finding the 32 Black people in Wasilla Alaska: http://newsone.blackplanet.com/elections/video-exclusive-smokey-fontaine-goes-to-wasilla-alaska/

The U.S. Census reports that out of 9000 plus people in Wasilla, there are 32 who identify as African American. What does this tell us about the hometown of the VP nominee? We went to find out?

Let me try to give you an answer. I think it means that ther is 8,968 plus people in Wasilla who aren't black. Correct?

[old lady]

Somebody tell the old man he's Joe The Recording Star now..
don't need you no more...no forwarding address.. thanks for the leg up, but no thanks

[jazzblues]

I just have one word for this very old old man!!

Pathetic!!

[whoanellie]

Sam the Faker is probably having a beer with Sarah the Dunce working on their 2012 campaign

[leonardse]

I will say it again. McCain's handlers can screw up a two-car parade. he is going to be our leader?

[sadiehawkins]

This is what happens when you hire a bunch of third graders to run your campaign!

[jenjen1031]

More bizarre than Joe not showing up is the fact that no McCain staffers noticed his absence and informed their candidate before he embarrassed himself...­again. What's up with that?

[Punkynsnow]

Another well-coordinated effort on the part of the not-so Straight Talk Express. The wheels came off that bus quite a while ago.

[Susej]

Senator McCain,
Just step aside already. You are ugly both on the inside and the outside. Yuck!

[1Obamafan]

Just wait until we start spreading it around!

[loujack]

You know the sad thing is that McCain's talked about the common man "Joe the Plummber" and how Obama was going to take Joe's money (that he didn't have) up til now and spread it around. Look like JOE is dubbing McCain for the very thing he talk against. Now Joe is after the Wealth.,,,

Record deal,,,,please that is going to last about as long as a snowball in hell..

[phlashba]

ROTFLMAO

[PADebbie]

I was wondering where something else was? Where is this sites big debute of the 1/2 slot for Obama the dictators speech last night?? Did anyone see it or is it missing also?

[duchessdorleans]

Didn't I see you on a youtube video?

[1Obamafan]

Actually it was a little too depressing for anyone to want to talk about it much.

[Susej]

Joe is busy writing a book, composing a country song, and running for congress.
If he has time left, he will built a rocket ship to go fix the toilet in the space station.

[Punkynsnow]

LMAO!!! Wait, McCain knows how to fix that toilet, my friends.

[HurryUp1212009]

IT'S GETTING SO EVEN JOE-THE-A-HOLE DOENS'T WANT TO BE TETHERED TO THIS LOSER, JOHN MCCAIN. I GUESS HE'S NOT SO STUPID AFTER ALL!

[BPCentrisAmerican]

Did McCain wonder amelessly around the stage, like he was looking for his lost puppy.

[larmarch5]

So how many people are at Mac's rallies today? Note how short lived the cheers and applause are. I wonder how many of these folks are deciding to vote for Obama after coming to see Mac. These moments juxtaposed with their ads must be really disgusting to former Mac supporters.

*Sarcasm On*

If you really think about it, sounds like Joe the Plumber is a smart man after all. Less than a month ago he was a nobody that no one cares about now he's a big celebrity and seems like there are some economic benefits to being "Joe the Plumber".

His political intelligence may not be so high but in terms of doing what's in his interest and pocket books? Joe is the man. I wish I could have pulled off a stunt like that to get me famous and reap the benefits of notoriety.

You are the man Joe the Plumber. You are second smartest man in the world, along with Kevin Federline who got Britney and dumped her and made her pay a fortune in child support, a real genius.

*Sarcasm Off*

Few more days until history is made.

[loujack]

Maybe he can afford to pay his back taxes now...
