McCain Snuffs Obama's House Attacks-- Fires Off On Rezko
Gateway Pundit — Was this a setup? How could the Obama Camp be so stupid to attack John McCain on his homes? Did they think the rest of the country forgot about Obama's jailed friend and shady house buying partner, Tony Rezko? After Obama released this ad attacking John McCain for the number of houses he owns the McCain Camp came charging back with a broadside on Obama's links to jailed long-time friend and fundraiser Tony Rezko. The Politico reported: Sen. John McCain's campaign is fighting back ...

Cabin
Eschaton — Drudgico's Jonathan Martin: My colleague Lisa Lerer, travelling with McCain, sends word that the candidate is now at his cabin in Sedona, which he'll make his base of operations as the spotlight focuses on Obama. McCain's cabin is large, it contains multitudes. McCain said the valley was settled by Mormons and that the Hidden Valley Ranch got its name from the horseshoe shape of the creek that runs through the property. He said he built the first house on his property 24 years ago and now there are six houses on his lot. Maybe the Sedona property is like the ...

Obama: 'Seven'
Ben Smith's Blog — The Obama campaign races to the air with an ad pegged to McCain's inability, in an interview with Politico's Maritn and Allen, to tally his houses. The ad, which spokesman Bill Burton said is airing on national cable, contrasts Americans' struggle to pay their mortgages with McCain's optimistic talk on the economy and his personal wealth. It also answers McCain's the question about McCain's houses: "It's seven. Seven houses. And here's one house America can't afford to let John McCain move inot The ad marks an effort to inject a sharp new line of attack -- that McCain is out of ...

New Obama Ad: 'Seven'
Blah3 Feed — Think of it as a gentle reminder to McCain, who just can't remember how many houses he his wife owns. Addendum: McCain spokesman Brian Rogers responds, and tries to wedge every single stupid point McCain (and Hillary!) has been hammering for months into one sentence: 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? Does a guy who ...

Obama releases new ad over McCain "I don't know how many houses I own" gaffe
AMERICAblog News — Good. And the ad nicely avoids the issue of whether McCain is losing his cognitive abilities because of his advanced age (he's going to be 72 in a week). Rather, the ad simply notes that Americans are suffering economically and John McCain, and his seven houses, thinks everything is going swell. UPDATE: The McCain campaign just issued a response that is so all over the place, it's worthy of a Democrat. It also evinces just a wee bit of pique :-) “Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii ...

New Obama Ad Hits McCain On Number-Of-Houses Gaffe
TPM Election Central — Man, talk about rapid response. The Obama campaign is already out with a new ad hitting McCain over the news today that he was unable to say precisely how many houses he owns: "When asked how many houses he owns, McCain lost track -- he couldn't remember," the ad says, in what sounds a bit like an age dig. "Well, it's seven. Seven houses." The ad dovetails with a broad populist attack on McCain being waged by the Dems today in the wake of McCain's comments, and clearly represents a turn towards a much sharper tone for the Obama camp. The Obama campaign says it's ...

Seven House Army?
Matthew Yglesias — The Obama campaign gives its view of how many houses John McCain owns: His staff, being less precise but in some ways more accurate, has said McCain owns at least four. Over here you can find the most expansive count which gives McCain ten. You could probably even push this up to eleven if you want to count the Phoenix double-condo as two separate homes. But I think that’s tendentious. To get to ten homes, you also need to count his various ranch properties as separate homes which I likewise think is tendentious — that’s ...

Obama turns McCain 'houses' into ad
Jonathan Martin's Blog — Obama's campaign has quickly turned McCain's uncertainty about how many homes he owns into their toughest attack against the Republican yet.   For the first time, Obama goes after his rival with a character-based assault akin to what McCain's campaign has been doing with their Celebrity line of attack. "It's seven," the narrator says, reminding McCain how many properties he and his wife own.  "Seven houses." The ad, first given to Matt Drudge, will air on national cable, according to Obama's campaign.  The aim, of course, is to get free media out of it as the ...

McCain Couldn’t Count High Enough To Figure Out How Many Houses He Owns
Oliver Willis — Tim Kaine discusses how John McCain is not like us “I understand that Sen. McCain was asked yesterday this question, ‘how many houses do you own?,’ and he couldn’t answer that question. He couldn’t count high enough apparently to even know how many houses he owns,” said Kaine. Did you know that Sen. McCain owns a parking lot worth more than the average American home? In 2006, McCain Owned A Parking Lot Worth Over A Million Dollars. According to McCain’s Senate Personal Finance Disclosure, the McCain family owns ...

New Obama ad: Hey, McCain’s rich
Hot Air » Top Picks — New Obama ad: Hey, McCain’s rich posted at 12:05 pm on August 21, 2008 by Allahpundit Send to a Friend | printer-friendly After 18 months on the trail, this is the closest he’s come to a memorable ad. Seriously. I wrote about this line of attack back when David Brock floated his “sugar mommy” turd. It’ll help Obama marginally — the appeal of class warfare is evergreen, especially in a bad economy — but it’d help a lot more if McCain actually looked the part Obama’s trying to make him play. Americans are used to the idea of politicians being filthy rich; it’s not wealth itself that puts fangs into the attack, ...

Obama Paints McCain as Wealthy and Clueless
44 — Ad Watch Obama Paints McCain as Wealthy and Clueless By Howard Kurtz The Ad: Maybe you're struggling just to pay the mortgage on your home. But recently John McCain said, "The fundamentals of our economy are strong." Hmm. Then again, that same day, when asked how many houses he owns, McCain lost track -- he couldn't remember. Well, it's seven. Seven houses. And here's one house America can't afford to let John McCain move into. [Shot of the White House] Analysis: This Barack Obama ad attempts to paint the senator from Arizona as a wealthy, out-of-touch elitist -- precisely the tactic that Republicans once used against John Kerry and ...

It already has an ad up on what is quickly becoming my new favorite story . I know they had to keep it simple, but I would have tried to work in this point. Take a look at the spending habits of the McCains ("Cindy McCain charged as much as $500,000 in a single month on one American Express card and $250,000 on another") and the fact that they have so many million-dollar homes that John McCain can't even remember them all. And then consider the fact that wasteful ...

Obama Tears Into McCain For Houses Remark
The Huffington Post | Full News Feed — Barack Obama lashed into John McCain during a campaign stop in Virginia on Thursday, ridiculing the presumptive Republican nominee for being painfully out of touch on the economy and not even knowing how many houses he owns. "Yesterday, [John McCain] was asked again what do you think about the economy, he said I think the economy is fundamentally strong," said Obama. "Now this puzzled me. I was confused what he meant. But then there was another interview where somebody asked John McCain how many houses do you have and he said 'I'm not sure. I'll have to check with my staff.' True quote. 'I'm not sure ill have to check with ...

Political Animal — Have you had the feeling that the Obama campaign has seemed troubled of late? They’re on the ropes, slipping in the polls? Maybe they could use a little spark to help shake up the race? Based on the last few hours, I think they got one. We talked earlier about a reporter from the Politico asking John McCain yesterday how many homes he owns. “I think — I’ll have my staff get to you,” McCain said. “It’s condominiums where — I’ll have them get to you.” In an impressive display of rapid-response, the Obama campaign already has a new ad out, ...

How Many Houses-Gate?
Real Clear Politics - TIME.com — So John McCain couldn't tell Mike Allen and Jon Martin how many houses he owns. Is this a huge deal? The Obama campaign certainly thinks so. Obama jumped on the story at a town hall meeting in Virginia today: John McCain was asked recently: How many houses do you have? And he said, "I'm not sure I'll have to check with my staff." True quote he said, "I'm not sure I'll have to check with my staff." So they asked his staff and they said at least four. Now think about that. I guess if you think being rich means you have to make $5 million and you don't know how many houses you have than its not surprising that you ...

Fired Up! Missouri — Just how out of touch is John McCain with the day-to-day challenges of middle class life in America? Pretty darn out of touch. The guy can't even remember how many pairs of shoes houses he owns.  "I think - I'll have my staff get to you," McCain told [a reporter] in Las Cruces, N.M.

Obama’s “Karl Rove Style Negative Campaign”
The Next Right — It’s official, Obama isn’t just running a negative campaign, he's running an all-out smear fest.  Obama’s Ralph Reed ad accusing McCain of being in bed with Jack Abramoff is especially Swift Boat-like.  He's going after McCain’s strength in a very Rovian way, never mind how baseless the attack is.

Next, the Obama camp launched a sharp attack on McCain's approach to foreign policy, calling the GOP nominee "reckless" and "trigger-happy" . Liberal bloggers were delighted by these attacks, which they see as a sign that the Obama camp is beginning to go on the ...

Bush Moves To Remove Iraq From The Campaign By... Adopting Obama's Position-- McCain Too Busy Counting His Homes To Realize
DownWithTyranny! — After a sudden and unannounced flight, Condoleeza Rice is in Baghdad this morning. She's hammering the Iraqi political leadership on the timing of the withdrawal of U.S. forces And on the issue of extraterritoriality (i.e.- the "issue of immunity for American troops from Iraqi prosecution.") The U.S. and Iraq have been haggling over this since early March and Condi said, “This agreement will be ready when it’s ready." It's especially funny because American neoCons are yelling about Russian troops occupying a couple of checkpoints in northern Georgia near where Stalin was born just as the UN ...

Obama's Desperation is Showing
Wizbang — Obama is getting desperate. He's now trying to malign John McCain because he owns several houses , insinuating that because he's wealthy he's too different from and out of touch with the typical American, so he shouldn't be trusted. This, folks, is typical socialist propaganda. Hate those who have more. Don't trust those who have more. And it's pretty ironic coming from a man whose charitable giving as a percent of his income doesn't come close to McCain's, as Jay Tea pointed out earlier today. Well, thanks to their having released their tax returns, we have a pretty good idea. In the years 2000 through 2007, Barack ...

The Negative Phase
The Corner on National Review Online — Friday, August 22, 2008 [image] The Negative Phase [ Yuval Levin ] The McCain campaign has put out an ad responding to Obama s housing ad from yesterday. It s incredible how tough this race has become in the past week or so, with both camps going negative pretty effectively even though both candidates have wanted to project an image that rejects negative campaigning until recently. On the whole it helps McCain, I think, just given the dynamics of the race. A negative campaign tends to undermine both candidates preferred campaign narratives, but that does much more damage to Obama, since he is much more ...
