Links Here in Japanese to Japanese commentary about last night's debate and elevates the issue of *JOE THE PLUMBER* as indicative of middle class concerned Americans.
Translates him as [働く配管工のジョー] "Hataraku Haikanko no Joe-san" (literally, "Joe, the Working Plumber"), and states he is an interesting developing campaign story in the USA delineating the differences between McCain and Obama on basic TAX ISSUES.
Going global, folks. From my own research just now, even some of the dummies over at DU's heads are exploding in anger over this sudden, new, real live NARRATIVE to the American political landscape, Joe The Plumber (who conveniently is opposed to Obama). They are now trying to dig up things on this real "Average Joe", Joe W., some calling him a racist (I know, I know, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1), or that he is not registered to vote, the whole usual panicking liberal nine yards. LOL.

From Goo News in Japan (summary translated by Freeper, Japanese to English).
○「働く配管工のジョー」のためとは
マケイン氏は「ずっと働いてきて初めて小さな会社を買い取って事業主になろうとしている、配管工のジョーが、オバマ氏の法人税増税のせいでアメリカの夢を実現できなくなる。オバマ氏は中小企業に増税するつもりだ」と批判。オバマ氏はこれに対して、「配管工のジョーの会社もそうだが、ほとんどの中小企業の事業規模は私の提案する減税策の枠内に入る。マケイン氏はむしろ、大企業への法人税を削減しようとしている」と応酬し、マケイン氏の経済政策はブッシュ大統領のものと同じだと従来の主張を展開。
これに対してマケイン候補は、「オバマ議員、私はブッシュ大統領ではない。ブッシュ大統領を相手に戦いたかったのなら、4年前に出馬するべきだった。私はこの国を違う方向へもっていきたい」ときっぱりと反論した。

Watch Joe the Plumber will go through the same scrutiny Sarah Palin went through. Lol
Meanwhile, Obama will continued to go unquestioned by the MSM.

LOL... wow, thanks for the translation!
McCain has got to use Joe the Plumber in one of his ads, or campaign with him... ;-)

...being the unimaginative, copycate fools that they are, they will try to create their OWN “Joe the Plumber” and send him or her out after McCain or Palin on the campaign trail, with a YouTuber in toe. Just watch. It will probably be on “failing to catch Osama Bin Laden” or “Woman’s Right To (sic) Choose”.

Wouldn’t it be something if - after Obama spending hundreds of millions of $$$ on his campaign - including interrupting the World Series, embedding his mug into video games and buying a freakin’ 24/7 channel on the DISH Network - the Obama campaign is taken down by... Joe the Plumber?! ;-D

Did you know that “Barney Frank” translated into Japanese is “Stomach like large tub of goo that steals money from efficient worker to give to layabout”? It’s true!

Joe the Plumber stuff is already starting on Japanese internet chat boards, news stories, etc. It is phenomenon. I think Japanese TV will center in on this one as well, as a sidebar, in the next few hours.
Japanese love real salt-of-the-earth, average guy speaks truth to power type-stuff, probably because in the political climate here it is so difficult for common folk to be able to do that to Japanese politicians. I think they really like ol' Haikanko no Joe-san.
Somebody be sure to pass it on to the guy back in the states. He is a star for standing up to Obama.

that was in fact a second definition of "Bwaney Fwank", yes, in my Seiko Instruments J-to-E Digital Translator, yes.

McCain should bring Joe along with him on Letterman’s show tomorrow night.
Of course Joe might want to wrap a monkeywrench around Letterman’s head though. ;)
