I think some on the right are forgetting one basic tenet here. Keep the attacks simple. Remember the "I voted before the bill before I voted against it" attack against Kerry. It was simple because it conveyed his propensity to flip flop. The "I don't know how many houses I own" attack works because it plays into Obama's already existing argument that McCain doesn't understand middle class Americans who own 1 house in all likelihood. For a politician to lose count of how many houses he owns when he thinks the economy is fine makes McCain seem out of touch with Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania workers.
