JOE SCARBOROUGH: Easily irritated conservative MSNBC presenter, host of the show Morning Joe, the title of which is a clever play on words because "Joe" also means "coffee". Travels everywhere by train and, when he can muster a small amount of disposable income, enjoys eating out in low-budget restaurants that closed 20 years ago.

JOE BIDEN: Fictional character frequently evoked in US politics as a proxy for the ordinary working-class American. Given the circumstances, it has to be said Danko responded with extraordinary good humour, explaining that he was an old friend of Biden - hey, Joes have got to look out for each other - and causing Sliwa's anti-Biden efforts to backfire amusingly.

JOEY DANKO: A man Joe Biden met at his local gas station the other day, who told him he never has enough money to fill up his car anymore - or so Biden claimed in the vice-presidential debate the week before last. Maybe a bit less if you're OK to pay in cash. And the truth is that he could, but he needs a special part that he'll have to order, which could take six weeks to arrive, by which time it'll be too late for McCain. Last night, John McCain seemed to think Joe the Plumber could fix all his election woes. JOE THE PLUMBER: Toledo's Ur-pipefitter is one of several Joes the Plumber see also here and here.
