Why Is Your Plan Better? Why, Joe the Plumber.

McCain gets a chance to swing at the first pitch on economics, which is good for him. McCain's answer sounds solid on the surface. An opportunity for him to speak to the economic concerns of everyday Americans.

Obama goes right to the Middle Class. (Can't remember if McCain said the Magic Words.)

McCain's counter is about some plumber named Joe, and how Obama is destroying the American dream. Will Obama talk to Joe by name?

No, but he does talk to "95% of you out there," looking right into the camera. And he responds on the "Joe the Plumber issue."

I think this exchange is a draw, or even a slight advantage to McCain!
