That one is simple. McCain decided to make this dude the bulk of his attack on Obama during a debate. Not just a theoretical "Joe the plumber who makes blah blah blah". He specially brought out this guy by name and said to Obama, "this is the dude you are screwing over after he came to talk to you". So of course they are going to rebut it. The case in general (how would a guy in Joe TP's theorhetical case fare) and then specifically look into the guy. Joe wouldn't have gotten a glance one way or another if McCain had not repeatedly mentioned the guy by name and use him as an attack on his opponent. And it probably wouldn't have gone much further anyway if the guys story had much of any bearing on what McCain was saying during the debate. I think all the energy expended on Joe is pretty silly on both sides, but that's what happens when one candidate tries and go on a new offense late in the game.
