NPR: Have You Met My Friend Joe?

Have You Met My Friend Joe?

The world's most famous plumber now has a page in Facebook. Exactly twenty minutes after tonight's debate ended Joe's page debuted and the number of friends has been rising ever since. Of course Joe already is a national celebrity, he was on CBS tonight and our own Senior Washington Editor Ron Elving dubbed him "the new figure on the American political landscape."

We at Vox Politics are slightly confused though. It appears that Joe has many Facebook pages, 42 to be exact. These include Joe Da Plumber, Average Plumber Joe, and Joe Takchi Plumber...definitely more than the average Joe.

The last count on the page was 387 fans so far, but we want to know what it will be tomorrow. Care to make a guess at the number...and become a friend of Joe's?
