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.
