Sorry to break the bad news to Joe the Plumber. But the winner of Campaign 2008 is Peggy the Moocher. No matter who moves into the White House, Peggy has good reason to do a happy dance. The plain, ugly fact is that both major political parties are committed to spreading the wealth in one form or another. It's all just a question of how much and how quickly.
Who is Peggy the Moocher? She's Peggy Joseph, a voter in Sarasota, Fla., who exulted earlier this week at a Barack Obama rally that this was "the most memorable time of my life." Why? As she told a Florida reporter on a YouTube video that has been viewed by hundreds of thousands: "Because I never thought this day would ever happen. I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage. You know. If I help [Obama], he's gonna help me."
You can't blame Peggy the Moocher for viewing Obama as the superior Santa Claus. With a relentless messianic campaign, a grievance-mongering wife touting him as the country's soul fixer and a national infomercial promising to take care of every need from night classes to medical bills to rent and fuel-efficient cars, Obama effectively channeled Oprah Winfrey's Big Give.
"Everybody gets a car!" "Everybody gets a car!" And gas. And mortgage payment relief.
But the damning reality for fiscal conservatives is that John McCain's plan for homeowners underwater on their mortgages was even more generous than Obama's.

i thought the winner was Peggy the Noonan
I hope TV crews visit Peggy in 4 years.
So we can all enjoy with misty eyes, how much better her life becomes under Barry.
For a minute, I thought this was a Peggy Noonan thread.
When I saw the headline, I, too, thought Malkin was referring to Peggy Noonan.
LOL! I thought it was going to be about Peggy Noonan as well!
Guess I better get in line for bread.
I have a theory — in fact, I am certain of it — that our politicians, with a few notable exceptions, are the last to know what is actually going on in this country.
I’m jennyjenny the moocher! I can’t wait.
yeah because at least peggy the moocher cares about policy details. Most obama supporters were inspired by hope, change, transformational, blablabla
Peggy Noonan wins too.
A token “conservative” who will still be invitd to whine and dine in Georgetown, to dish and dump on Sarah Palin and how “it” (baby Trig) brought down the party of Ronald Reagan.
I cant wait until the unemployed are lined up and begging for work - I will drive by and scream - “WHERES YOUR MESSIAH NOW AHOLES”
I’ll be downsizing my farming operations for the next few years.Plan to make just enough to pay my bills and live cheap.Won’t have much taxable income so Peggy will have to look elsewhere...
What hell is wrong with single women?
I am sending all my bills to Obama..So I don’t have to worry...

a casualty of trying to pander to PUMA’s. It was a hillary idea.
I swear from the headline I thought this was about Noonan.
This is what happens when more than half of the electorate is on some form of welfare or another.
I suggest a bumper sticker, more effective than a verbal scream!
Hello, and welcome to the John Galt no-growth club.
John Galt emerges.
