McCain Campaign Response: Obama Worries About Arugula, Vacations In Hawaii
TPM Election Central — Here's McCain campaign spokesperson Brian Rogers' response to Obama's hit on McCain today for not knowing how many houses he owns.

Considering the fact that Obama obtained his mansion with the help of convicted felon Tony Rezko, this was a stupid - potentially politically lethally stupid - move on the campaign's part. They have opened the door to a counterpunch over Obama's ties to Rezko. Does a guy who bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses? Spokesman Rogers: Says Obama lives in a frickin mansion ...
