Holy cow, there really is an army of Joes out there

Like I said, there really is an army of Joes out there, they're mad as hell, and they're not taking it anymore.

And as Jennifer Rubin notes in her "All it took was Joe the Plumber?":

.... what Joe did was give McCain his contrast: socialism vs. market capitalism, high vs. low taxes, Hoover vs. Reagan. How could all those "smart" McCain political advisors have missed this? Well, let's just say in the midst of a campaign, it's easy to get lost in the trees. They missed the entire forest: the election is about whether we're going to veer Left, really Left on taxes, trade, spending, health care and the like. (Really Left because Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have their hands on the wheel and there's no brake.)

So after all of this (two years of campaigning) McCain is finally focused on the economy with a rather compelling message. We will have plenty of time to argue if he loses whether a quicker realization and better articulation of this mega-contrast between the candidates' economic views would have helped. But two weeks these days is an eternity in politics -- and that's especially true if your opponent doesn't really dispute the premise of your contrast argument.
