Joe (Sam) the Plumber

By now I bet you have heard of "Joe the Plumber" who was referenced numerous times by Senator John McCain during the third and final presidential debate Wednesday night. Since McCain even decided to declare "Joe the Plumber" the winner of the debate, I figured I might as well post the video and some more info about this whole thing.

A couple of things about Joe the Plumber, the icon of the authentic working-class voter who was declared the "winner" of the final presidential debate.

His first name isn't really Joe. It's Samuel.

He's not really a plumber - at least, not a licensed one.

He's concerned about increased taxes - but hasn't paid his own income taxes.

And he's not exactly just a guy from Ohio.

He's lived in Arizona ... and Alaska. [SFGate]
