According to Ambinder, state Democratic parties are recording robocalls using local (union?) plumbers named Joe, in support of Obama in Virginia and Colorado:
Barack Obama's campaign is trotting out its own "Joe the Plumber" to counteract efforts by John McCain to make inroads on the white working class vote.
A reader in Colorado sends over word that the state Democratic Party and the Obama camp are blasting out robocalls from "Joe Martinez," a plumber in Colorado who vouches for the Illinois Democrat's tax plan.
This is brilliant. Not only does it push back and minimize the damage, it actually muddies the issue of who the "real" Joe the Plumber is for the low-information voters. "Did you hear? That Joe the Plumber guy called me last night and said he likes Obama. Must have changed his mind!"
This guy received a McCain robocall pushing the Ayers smear. Then today he got a robocall from Obama aimed directly at countering it.
