Here's the NY Times story: [link:https://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/22/va-baker-is-in-the-spotlight-at-ryan-rally/?mtrref=t.co|The Caucus - The Politics and Government blog of The New York Times
A Virginia Baker Is in the Spotlight at a Ryan Rally]
Joe the Plumber, meet Chris the Baker.
The Republican ticket has embraced a new small-business hero. On Wednesday, the owner of a bakery who last week turned away Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. introduced Representative Paul D. Ryan at a rally in this city where President Obama uttered his You didnt build that remark.
Chris McMurray, the owner of Crumb and Get It Cookie Company with his wife, told a crowd at another small business, a hardware store, We are gathered here today to send a message to the Obama-Biden team that we did build it.
Mr. McMurray said the Biden campaign approached him to ask if the vice president could drop by his cookie shop while campaigning, and he replied, Nothing personal, but I just happened to disagree with the president and the vice president on a few things.

The hypocrisy runs deep.

My understanding is that Mr. McMurray did not turn Biden away from being a customer.

The Biden campaign wanted to be able to campaign on his premesis.
But sadly Mr. McMurray is not enlightened when it comes to what politics are good for him. He stated to the Biden campaign "no, we have a difference in our politics". Biden campaigned elsewhere... and everyone got on...
