Ha! Anderson's finally gotten a chance to make someone ELSE embarrassed and squirming–poor David Gergen–but I do agree with all the Gerg love.
ROFL This is hysterical!!! David is soooooo red!!! ROFL
I agree – David Gergen is the best!
I love it and love David Gergen also!!!!!
Poor David, he's turning red!
This is so cool about David Gergen!!!!!
David Gergen is soooo adorable!!! LOL!
Oh Anderson is so funny. Embarrassing David Gergen like that. Ha!
David, I love you too. 🙂
did gergen just call us groupies????? lol
Aw, I love David Gergen also!!
"Joe the plumber" as well as "Joe six-pack" should pray for an Obama victory...a tax cut would be in their future. Clearly "Joe the plumber" will not be sharing his wealth with anyone...no worries.
Dalals FOrt worth is also getting robocalls from the RNC btw. Thank goodness we have real Dems calling people here too:)
Beware the person who says they don't believe in social security

Hi Anderson,
This is my first time blogging with you..this should be fun.
Hellooo Diane,
Welcome to live blog on AC 360!!! Have nice be here tonight!!!!! Yes, we have fun blog!!!! 🙂
Hey does anyone realize that "Joe the Plumber" has conducted more interviews than Sarah Palin. Wow.
Good evening Anderson! I respect Ed Rollins opinion considering he is a republican!
Joe the Plumber was a plant. Nothing "Joe" said in the clip Anderson just ran would indicate–in any way–that Joe is an Obama supporter. Quite the contrary. He's obviously a McCain supporter and I suspect he was a plant with the full knowledge of the McCain compaign.
Robocall is bad simply because of McCain's statement yesterday. he doesn't care about a washedout terroirist. Yet he is calling people and leaving this message.
Actually, I think what the McCain campaign did to Joe the plumber is awful. Im sure he didnt sign up for all this media attention and broadcast of information of owing taxes.
Joe is the latest joke in McCain campaign. He was always going to vote for McCain and never was independent. I can't believe he said that social security should be eliminated. That by itself tells that he was as far right as you can be.
Joe the Plumber is the textbook example of why the trickle down theory never works for the less fortunate: those at the top never allow it to trickle down, except perhaps to the Mercedes' dealers, the resort owners, the private jet consortiums, etc.
Yes, somebody plz explain what a "robo call" is...
Robo Calls are annoying but I guess if your down like McCain is you do what's necessary to win or cast doubt that Obama a bad choice. The "Joe the Plumber" thing is played out...Oh!!! and Anderson love your show.
Why do they keep talking about "Joe" in this campaign. What happened to "John Smith?" Yes Jason, I agree. The only Joe I care about is Biden.
I am not criticizing the plumber, I am criticizing the media. Leave the guy alone. Let's get back to the issues please
Jason in Wisconsin.
It does seem that Candy Crowley is becoming more anti Obama, great observation.
Hey John, McCain's comment about $5 million was a joke, and he even said at the time it would be taken out of context. He was right, the Omama campaign has twisted what he said, as they have twisted reality time after time.
No wonder Joe the Plummer did not want to pay any taxes and hates any kind of tax obligation, seems he does not believe in any kind of taxes period because..........he already owes back taxes!!!!
I love Joe the plumber, but I love Barack Obama more that's why I voted for Obama/Biden in 2008 today!
I think Obama did an outstanding job at the fund raiser tonite he was really showing he can be just one ofus.
Be careful who you mock. Hardworking people allow you guys to sit around in suits and make your living by talking. Joe the plumber and his opinions are worth just as much as yours.
Joe the plummer is right on all the issues– immigration, Iraq. Seems like a guy I'd like to have a beer with!
Anderson I was just going to ask if his name is really Joe. Why give him air time? Why are they even talking about him instead of the real problems in the country: The economy and home mortgages among other issues.
(oh yeah gas prices in Salinas $3.26/ gal. WOW!)
Obama is dismissive. He seems to think that people are rich when they are not.
I'm usually on top of things. How did I miss this...what is the Robo calls?
McCain vetted Joe the plumber the same way he vetted Palin
I agree with bloggers,
I am tired of Joe the plumber........ I felt bad for him!!! yes, he owe the taxes back.
Anderson,
Hi! The charity event was great after the seriousness of the debate last night. I hope Obama maintains his lead in the campaign throughout the weeks ahead.
Joe phenom is just weird.
The only Joe I care about is named Joe Biden.
Since Joe (Samuel) only makes 40,000 a year, the republicans don't even care about him. John McCain said in an interview that "middle class" meant you make 5 million dollars. Joe is only 1 opinion, lets talk with the other thousands of voters.
So, seniors are supposed to do what without social security, JOE?
Wow! "Wurzelbacher"–I have never heard that name!
Can someone tell Joe the Plumber that his 15 minutes are over.
McCain and RNC doing nasty robo calls in ohio.I received a call and I am on the do not call list.This has to stop.
I find it amusing that Joe the Plumber is now a household name.
Evening Anderson!
McCain should of chosen Joe the plumber as the VP. He seems to be doing more interviews than Palin. Palin has been treated more like a campaign staff member rather than a VP.
I was surprised to hear that the RNC robocalls were being sent into Texas – I thought the Repubs had that one sewn up.
