Message-ID: <48ADECB4.8090600@yakima.net> In an interview with Politico, McCain was asked how many houses he owned. He stuttered a bit and stated that he would have to have his staff get back to Politico and let him know. Apparently McCain owns seven (7!!!) houses. Meanwhile, Obama himself weighed in from Virginia. "If you don't know how many houses you have, then it's not surprising that you might think the economy is fundamentally strong," he said. "But if you're like me and you've got one house - or you were like the millions of people who are struggling right now to keep up with their mortgage so that they don't lose their home - you might have a different perspective." With our current economic downturn so directly related to the housing crisis, any gaffe that has the potential to convince vast majority of Americans--who generally know how many houses they own--that McCain is too wealthy to understand what's going on is a gift from the political gods. http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/08/21/the-danger-of-mccain-s-seven-houses-slip.aspx From yakdems-announce at yakimademocrats.com Mon Aug 25 09:05:54 2008 From: yakdems-announce at yakimademocrats.com (Yakima County Democrats) Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2008 09:05:54 -0700 Subject: [Yakima Democrats] Check Our Blog for Daily Convention Posts by Aaron Case Message-ID: <48B2D862.1050702@yakima.net> Starting today on our Blog - http://www.theothersideonline.net - Obama Delegate Aaron Case of Yakima will provide his spin on events at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.
