You will remember 2008, yes? When "Joe the Plumber" seized the nation's imagination and served as the nation's templar for our hopes that there was a secret groundswell of angry anti-Obama voters who would make the race close and give reporters something exciting to cover on Election Night? And then how none of that happened and McCain lost in ignominy and Sarah Palin was not our first hot lady Vice President?
Well, Joey the Biden went back to Toledo (where Joe the Plumber is completely failing to run for elected office ), and was confronted by an eater at a restaurant who TOTALLY OWNED HIM and maybe that means that Ohio is close and Obama won't win maybe?
Vice President Joe Biden got an earful from a voter during an unscripted moment at Schmucker's Restaurant here in Ohio.
Making an unexpected stop after a campaign rally, Biden stopped in the diner — known for Grandma's Swiss steak and chicken over biscuits — to chat with patrons.
One voter — who called Biden "a good guy" — confessed to reporters that he still wasn't a fan of the Obama administration or the vice president .
"Before that, I told him to enjoy his last couple of months," the man, who declined to give his name, said. "Just because you're a good guy doesn't mean you're a good vice president."
Be prepared for "Schmucker's Voter" to become A Thing, because this is the first contact most of the traveling press corps has had with an actual human being in months and so we must have all become beef-obsessed Bidenphobes since whenever the hell the GOP primary ended.
Oh, who are we kidding, we all fucking loved beef from the day we were born. With a hot side of Joe Biden.

i realize this is where the 'undecided (idiot)' votes preside but god i'm getting sick of these swing states and their goddamn restaurants and their aggressively homespun menus.
and this election.
Why that would be author, blogger, and MSNBC commentator Meghan McCain. The best way to get to know a person is to read a book she "wrote." One Amazon.com commenter did, and says her book is about the following topics:
<blockquote>1. Her hair, make-up, high heels, and love of sparkly clothing with sequins.
2. How mean Jenna Bush was for not wanting to hang out with her when she visited the White House.
3. How desperately she wanted to be &quot;First Daughter,&quot; and how girls, mainly Chelsea Clinton, though she&#039;s never actually mentioned by name, are uptight and ungrateful and should be more appreciative and excited that they get to be members of the super special &quot;daughters-of&quot; club.
4. How she just can&#039;t help dropping the F-word, even when she&#039;s in a professional setting, like a presidential campaign. She just can&#039;t help it, guys! It, like, slips out! That&#039;s, like, just who she is and how she talks!
5. How her mother, Cindy, told Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston that she&#039;d love to be their child&#039;s godmother, and how sooooo rude it was that Bristol and Levi weren&#039;t flattered by this and didn&#039;t take her up on the offer.
6. How she got wasted in Nashville then announced to everyone at a bar that her dad was running for president.
7. How she got so hopped up on Xanax that she missed several campaign stops the day before the election day.
8. The super gross hotels rooms she had to stay in while on the road with her dad&#039;s campaign. And how, like, one time she and her friends left a bunch of food outside a mean campaign reporter&#039;s hotel room so he&#039;d step on it when he walked out into the hall the next morning. Isn&#039;t that, like, the funniest thing ever?
9. How totally unfair it was that the Palins, including 7-year-old Piper, had people to do their hair and make-up for them, meanwhile Meghan had to do her own hair and make-up. I mean, can you believe that?!?
10. How the people at GQ Magazine are jerks for publishing a picture of her (a picture she willingly posed for, mind you) sprawled out on a hotel bed, dressed in a low-cut top, and sipping a beer while playing on her computer. And how shocked she was when her father&#039;s campaign was upset about the photoshoot. Couldn&#039;t they see she was in her early 20&#039;s? How was she to know any better? Jerks!
11. How much she just loves hanging out in her pajamas and UGG boots. It&#039;s, like, the best.
12. How everyone on her dad&#039;s campaign thought she was a spoiled brat who didn&#039;t deserve to be there and how, like, totally not cool that was!</blockquote>
