Joe Plumber Matters, General Powell Doesn't
Let's see, who has more of an impact on the American electorate, Colin Powell or Joe the Plumber?
Colin Powell is exciting those who are already in the tank for Obama: the media, the Democrats, the Washington cocktail circuit, the entertainment industry, folks who already have their minds made up. His endorsement will matter little in comparison to the effect that Mr. Obama's answer to Joe Plumber's question about taxes.
"Spread the wealth" will be words that echo for years to come as the three words that gave McCain the window of opportunity to hammer on the notion that Obama revealed what he intrinsically is: a believer in socialism. Or these words will haunt us after four years of higher taxes and an economy mired deeper than it already is as a result.
Colin Powell's words Sunday will be a distant memory four years from now. Joe the Plumber's question and BO's answer will be remembered for better or worse for many years to come for either what it cost Obama, or what it cost us.
