I've been following this election season more than I have any other since, and feel somewhat knowledable on each candidates stances on the issues. One thing that has been in the back of my mind however is this "Joe six-pack" that the candidates have mentioned? Now, I know who "Joe the Plumber" is, but I keep hearing about "Joe six-pack." Can someone explain who this is and why he is important.

Thank you.

Palin refers to herself as being "Joe 6-pack" in a ploy to look like she's just the average Joe or average American.

McCain/Palin have figured out that they can only convince folks if those folks are blitzed . . .

I see. I thought "Joe-six-pack" was another name for either "Joe the Plumber" or Joe Biden.

What a lame question. Only my infant grandson would not understand the reference. Keep stirring the pot.

Obama is proof of voting party lines. With all the controversy with past associates of questionable character, and known socialist. It seems that know cares, other then he is a Democrat and is saying what itchy ears want to hear. Please wake up America before it is too late. Granted McCain is not the picture perfect Republican at least his associates are clean. Does character matter anymore?
