I think its shameful they way the dems are tearing at this man. His only mistake was going and asking streight up from Obama if his plan was going to raise his taxes. He (Joe) was polite, friendly and earnest. No gotcha moment what so ever. It wasn't his plan to have McCain or Obama bring him into everyones livingrooms. But he seems like a regular joe ( pun intended) and the dems are tieing themselves in knots go after him trying to do damage control.
