Six ???? Seven ???? ..... Maybe as many as TEN !!!!!

Suddenly picking *rich* ol' Romney as his running mate doesn't seem like such a good idea !!

The question McCain should ask him first thing today :

"So uh .....how many houses do YOU all own, Mitt?"

If Mitt has as much trouble counting them as McCain :icon_evil: ......better consider that combo over ...

McCain's Houses Become a Major Issue

John McCain was recently asked how many houses he had and he didn't know. Later, a staff member said there were at least four. New data show that the McCain family owns at least eight houses. All are in his wife's name or in the names of their minor children, or are owned by trusts or companies they control. One is their real home, a "ranch" in Sedona, Arizona. In addition they have a three-bedroom condo in Arlington Virginia, where they live when the Senate is in session and a house in La Jolla, CA, where Cindy McCain's aunt lives. Politico reports that the McCains also own three condos in Phoenix and two beachfront condos in the chic suburb of Coronado just outside San Diego. However, other reports put the number of McCain's properties at 10.

The Democrats are going to use the fact that McCain has so many houses he can't remember them all to pummel him as totally out of touch with the economic reality facing millions of Americans who don't own any houses or who own one and are scared to death of losing it. If he picks Mitt Romney as his running mate, a completely reasonable choice given Romney's experience in politics and the business community's respect for him, the problem gets much worse. Cindy McCain is worth a mere $100 million. Romney is worth over $200 million. Obama has had trouble connecting with struggling working class people in Appalachia. It doesn't take a lot of creativity to imagine the ads Obama will be running in West Virginia before long: "The people vs. the plutocrats." Even if McCain has already chosen Romney, if the flap over the houses stays in the news for another week, he may be forced to reconsider and choose someone with a tad less in the bank, in which case the odds go up for Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-MN).

True, maybe Obama should start to worry about this housing issue:

....... Romney was elected governor of a very blue state, Massachusetts, no small feat for a republican, and had a long and successful career in business. Wall street loves him and he has had experience on the campaign trail and did well. His only scandal is his 1983 trip from Boston to Canada with his dog in a box strapped to the roof of his car.



His real problem is his success. He was worth about $250 million, but after his unsuccessful presidential campaign he's down to his last $200 million. Can you imagine what the democrats are going to say? Try this:


(long shot zooming in on mansion)

John McCain's family is worth over $100 million but the exact amount isn't clear because they have consistently refused to release their complete tax returns. Mccain thinks that people earning a mere $4 million aren't rich. He has so many houses he can't remember them all. His chief economic advisor said our economic problems are all mental. He just bought his daughter a $700,000 condo. But Mccain's money is peanuts compared to his running mate, Willard Romney's, whose net worth is more than $200 million. Barack Obama was raised by a single mother and just finished paying ofF the loans he needed to take out to get through college. His daughters get an allowance of $1 a week.

........ Who do you think understands how much you are struggling through the Bush economy?
