McCain uncertain how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, own.

So McCain doesn't know how many houses he has, thinks the economy is "fundamentally strong" and thinks that a 5 million dollar income is the cutoff line for rich. Tell me again how he "understands" the day to day troubles we apparently impoverished Americans deal with?

This is such a non issue, I often forget how many houses I own, the bungalow in Cabo shouldn't even be considered a house for instance.

Anyways, who cares if someone has so many houses they cant keep track of them. that's what Jewish lawyers and Mexican gardeners are for. I mean am I right or am I right?

P.S. Sarcasm FTW.

why is this article getting so much attention? Does it change our politics?

Normally campaign statements dwell on the worst but an eye for an eye I suppose.
CNN - “Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses?” said McCain spokesman Brian Rogers. “Does a guy who worries about the price of arugula and thinks regular people 'cling' to guns and religion in the face of economic hardship really want to have a debate about who’s in touch with regular Americans?

Dear karnathis,

This is an issue because John McCains hitmen have been calling Obama an "elitist".

Do you understand that only recently did Barak Obama pay off his student loans and this gray haired, white dude with shoes that cost over $500 is sending out his attack dogs trying to paint a humble man who is willing to lead the United States of America an Elitist.

Do you understand?

I certainly can not relate with anyone who has lost track of the number of homes they own.
