(CNN) – Joe the Plumber was the star of the first 15 minutes of the final presidential debate on Wednesday night. But who is he?

Last weekend, while Barack Obama was canvassing for support in the small town of Holland, Ohio, the Democratic nominee ran into a tall, bald man, since dubbed Joe the plumber. He asked Obama if he believed in the American Dream — he said he was about to buy a company that makes more than $250,000 a year and was concerned that the Democratic nominee would tax him more because of it.

Obama explained his tax plan in depth, saying it’s better to lower taxes for Americans who make less money, so that they could afford to buy from his business. John McCain attacked Obama for this exchange, saying the Illinois senator is trying to “spread the wealth around.â€

Obama won, but it was close. McCain attacked constantly, I think he was his best tonight.

McCain is advocating CHOICE in schools. Not charter schools. Why would a parent purposely choose a BAD charter school? That would be stupid.
