The latest campaign kerfuffle is Obama’s effort to make hay out of John McCain’s inability to tell a reporter how many houses he owns. McCain mumbled something about condos and said the reporter should talk to his wife. Predictably, Obama is trying to spin this exchange as showing that McCain is “out of touch.”

I can relate, though. For example, if a reporter asked me how many ties I own, there’s no way I could answer. Just like McCain, I’d tell him he has to ask my wife. Likewise if someone wants to know how many Wii games my kids have.

Because, houses are like ties or games for someone as mavericky and all-American as POW John McCain… amirite?

The two blogs you linked too (well, one indirectly) were similarly incoherent and out of touch.

Not only are McCain’s ad amateurish and shabby, they are reflecting his short temper. They appear to be put together in haste without proper attention to content and details.
