"He couldn’t count high enough apparently to even know how many houses he owns," said Kaine.

Desperation Time for the Obama Campaign
The Jawa Report —
... That's funny coming from somebody who the country can't stand, leading the lowest rated Congress in American history. We've got the jackass Time Kaine saying that McCain can't count to seven .

Tim Kaine discusses how John McCain is not like us

... how many homes he owns, nearly matched by the embarrassing lameness of Tim Kaine’s third-grade bon mot in reply. Was the Nelson Muntz “ha -ha” sound effect not available?

... troops, and that incorporating them into the security forces would go a long way toward bringing about the sort of reconciliation needed for long-term stability. Kevin Drum takes a good look at the probable impact domestically and at the spin each campaign is likely to use. One thing is certain though; the war is viewed by most Americans as a mistake and it is another example of McCain's lifelong awful judgment. McCain is dazed, confused and out-of-touch. He doesn't even know how many homes he owns-- is it four? ...
