It now appears McCain has twelve homes. Count ’em, twelve.
From USA Today:
McCain, who has portrayed Obama as an elitist, is the son and grandson of admirals. The Associated Press estimates his wife, a beer heiress, is worth $100 million. Obama was raised by a single mother who relied at times on food stamps, and went to top schools on scholarships and loans.
Time: “The McCain campaign’s constant invocation of the candidate’s POW past is weird bordering on irrational” and yes, his spokesperson tried to invoke McCain being a POW to deflect criticism for not knowing how many homes he owns.
I read somewhere (can’t find the link now) that Obama has deliberately delayed announcing his VP selection because he doesn’t want distract from the media frenzy over McCain’s homes.
They would be wise to milk this right through the weekend media cycle, maybe even longer. There are so many different avenues this story can be followed into. And none of them flattering to the entire republican frame.

But if you look at HotAir and the right wing they want the announcement to come sooner rather than later and are spinning it that Obama is trying to bury it in a Friday night dump. I wonder why they would say that? lol
