In 2004, didn't Kerry deny how many SUVs he owned? I believe he did. Eventually he responded that he didn't own one that Teressa did. Why no complaints from the Left? That is being a bit more cute by half.
Some people don't monitor their spouses portfolios that much, particularly if the money came from her family. I don't have that issue in my household but I digress. Yes ladies and gentlemen most people do know how many homes they or their wife own. Why? Because the answer for most is 1. For some the answer may be 2 but most people rarely own more than that.
You see that is the point - most people aren't like US Senators. Does Ted Kennedy or Jay Rockefeller know a great deal about their portfolios? Do many of you have a wife who has a 315 K job? How many of you can buy a home in Chicago for less than market value - before the recent real estate bubble? How many of you can get an adjacent piece of property to add to yours for way less than market value?
I don't think the McCain house issue is going to do a lot for Obama's chances. Obama has had a bit of a fall in the polls so I can see his supporters wanting this dog to hunt. However, I think that Obama's real estate deal being what appears to be a sweetheart deal isn't a good enough contrast to make this thing work for him. People figure that both of these housholds represent the tail end of the spectrum economically. Cindy McCain has some family money and bought some homes so... Bottom line the Obama people see it as a bit of a port in the storm of his decline in the polls but I don't see it as the super gaffe they make it out to be.
