Where would the world be without the regular guy? He (and she) are average by definition: the average Joe wants to be something more, yes, but if they all become something more than they just move the average up a notch!

Okay, but once you get your own publicist, I don't think you count as a regular guy anymore. And why can't lawyers and professors be considered "regular guys"? Just because the work they do isn't manual labor?

Aside from that, if I wanted some guy to represent the everyman, I'd want to choose someone a little nicer. I mean, Joe is telling people that a victory for Obama would mean death for Israel.

I know it is to some people -- the Klan and the Skinheads are still around, after all -- but I really don't think it's a big deal to the vast majority.

The people I've heard making such comments certainly don't belong to any organized racist groups. And if that's what people are saying in a blue state like New Jersey, I only imagine what's happening in places like Alabama.
