Keith Olbermann and Eugene Robinson discuss how, not only can McCain not remember how many houses he owns, but how his wealth takes him so far out of touch with the average American.
i'd bet most of us would love to have McCain's cash, but we would then be waaaay out of line when we say our opponent, who owns just one home, is 'out of touch' with most Americans. the plain fact is that many of us working Americans don't even own ONE home; if you own seven, you're probably out of touch with us.
In a country where a good percentage of people base their vote on the guy they'd most like to have a beer with, this will have legs.
Not knowing how many houses you have comes off as way more elitist than not knowing what a supermarket check out scanner is (bush 1) or a 200 dollar haircut on air force 1. (clinton).

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Both of these idiots (Keith Olbermann and Eugene Robinson) wish they had McCain's cash.
