Obama in Chester Virginia Video

Obama's running with McCain's $5 million is rich comment at Saddleback and the fact that he has 7 houses (though McCain's not sure how many houses he has). 

The McCain camp plans to sock back:

The Fix: "Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses?" asked McCain spokesman Brian Rogers. "Does a guy who worries about the price of arugula and thinks regular people 'cling' to guns and religion in the face of economic hardship really want to have a debate about who's in touch with regular Americans?"

The McCain campaign also promised to put Obama's ties to Tony Rezko front and center in the race now, insisting that the Illinois senator's decision to attack on the home front (heyooo!) made a discussion of his ties to the convicted real estate developer fair game.

Now we need to roll out Andrew McCain's bank troubles. It's only just the beginning of the real fun ahead!

McCain's Seven Houses Ad

A bit on McCain's California beachfront condos:

NPR's Scott Horsley did a little research into the McCain family's California property holdings. Here's what he found:

The McCain family owns two beachfront condos in Coronado, Calif, just across the water from downtown San Diego. The McCain's "Dream Catcher Family" LLC acquired the first in 2004. The sales price wasn't disclosed, but Dream Catcher obtained a 2 million dollar mortgage.

Feeling cramped, the McCain's acquired a second condo in the same complex this spring for just over 2.3 million dollars.

(Coronado is home to a large naval airbase, and has a street named after Senator McCain's admiral grandfather.)

How many houses?
