McCain has how many houses?

[RecycleMichael]

I don't know which is worst...having seven or eight houses or not knowing how many you have.

Why would you have that many houses? I know a guy who has a beach home in Florida, a mountain home in Colorado, a ranch home in Texas and a primary residence in Tulsa. He seems extravagent to me, but he says each of them are used for months at a time by family and friends. Four is a lot, but half af what MCain has.

How can you not remember how many homes you have? Is he that old? I have never met anybody who didn't know how many homes he had.

A) This is lame

B) You missed this by a week

C) Shouldn't you be in Denver cheering on your guy?

Good point. I just got all wrapped up in the Olympics, Driller games and prepping for my fantasy football leagues.

After a week, McCain could own a couple of more houses that he can't remember.

Actually, now they "think" he only owns five homes.  Old age is a biznitch!

Now they are saying ten.

I know someone who owns 23 or 24, he has to think about it every time I ask.

Yeah, but I'm betting that person isn't running for leader of the Free World....

Red Herring is on the menu tonight?

Pretty obvious some of those have got to be rental properties, like the multiple homes in Sedona and lofts in Phx.

It's kind of a BFD issue and when it comes down to petty issues like this it must mean there's no real dirt to find under his fingernails.

Yeah I'm trying to figure out why this even matters?

Because it eviscerates the "Obama is an elitist" argument that McCain's been trotting out for weeks.

Obama owns one house and became wealthy only in the past few years (mostly from book sales). McCain married into money and can't even remember how many houses he has. Which sounds more elite?

Frankly, I'm stunned that McCain brought out that stupid "elitist" argument in the first place. It was lame.

The only reason it matters is because the guy recently said the economy is fundamentally strong. Its easy to perceive the economy as strong when you have 7-10 houses. All the while trying to label Obama as an elitist and out-of-touch.

My point is, if you own that many, you've probably never spent the night in most of them. He may have bought them for family, rentals, whatever.

But, you have got to know in this day and age that if you run for President, you are going to be mulled over with a fine-toothed comb, and then done some more.
