From HERE:

Although it might seem like Joe "the Plumber" Wurzelbacher is everywhere these days, he wasn't at John MCain's rally this morning in the small town of Defiance, Ohio.

Except that nobody told the Republican presidential nominee that.

And so, in the midst of his speech, McCain called out to Wurzelbacher, as he often does on the campaign trail.

"Joe's with us today," McCain told an audience of about 6,000 people. "Joe where are you? Where is Joe? Is Joe with us today?" he asked.

When Joe failed to appear, an awkward silence settled over the crowd.

Then McCain, politician that he is, made lemonade out of lemons. "All right," he told the crowd. "Well, you're all Joe the Plumbers, so all of you stand up!"
