TPM Election Central —
Here's an advance look at the latest film about McCain's wealth from Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films, the same outfit that did that recent video about McCain's McMansions.
This one reveals another big McCain property asset that's gotten little if any attention, reporting that McCain owns a parking lot in Phoenix, AZ, that the film claims is worth between $1.4 million and $2.4 million:

Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
Not only does John McCain have at least 10 properties he can't remember, but he also owns a parking lot in Phoenix Arizona worth between $1.4 and $2.4 million. That's over $1 million more than the average American home!

Kevin Hayden, Quote of the day from mild-mannered Clark Kent-ish guy: “There isn’t a Republican serving in the Senate that’s happy he’s the nominee. Now, they’re all supporting him, but I’ll tell you they have told me. I’ve had Republican senators tell me they don’t think they’ll vote for him,” Reid said.

George W. McCain-Bush John McCain takes great pains to tell us of how he is just a war hero and feels your pain while the sheriff comes to your house to evict you during a foreclosure.
