More On McCain's Houses

From Philly.com:

THE SEARCH IS ON: McCain Can’t Remember How Many Homes He Owns – Can You?

CAMPAIGN SEEKS PENNSYLVANIANS WHO HAVE TOO MANY HOMES TO KEEP TRACK

PHILADELPHIA – This morning, Barack Obama’s Campaign for Change launched a statewide search to find Pennsylvanians who, like John McCain, have so many homes that they just can’t keep track of the number. Our new media team will be at Love Park in Philadelphia beginning at 1:00 PM and volunteers and field staff will be calling voters throughout the day in an attempt to uncover even just one person who doesn’t know how many homes he or she owns.

Yesterday, McCain was asked how many homes he owns. Clearly uncertain, he responded, “I think – I’ll have my staff get to you,” he told reporters in Las Cruces, N.M. “It’s condominiums where – I'll have them get to you.” [Politico.com, 8/21/08]

Here is a partial list of McCain’s homes:

  1. Condo in Phoenix, $4.7 million
  2. Condo No. 1, Coronado, Calif., $2.7 million
  3. Condo No. 2, Coronado, Calif., $2.1 million
  4. Hidden Valley Ranch, Sedona, Ariz., $1.8 million [AP, 4/3/08]
  5. Condo in La Jolla, Calif., $1 million
  6. Condo in Arlington, Va., $847,000
  7. Meghan McCain’s Loft in Phoenix, $700,000....


Amazing.
