McCain Doesn’t Know How Many Houses He Owns? Answer: Seven
For an average guy John McCain, it’s easy to forget - or just not know - how many houses you own. Like the $4.5 million condo in Phoenix or the estate in Sedona. When you’ve got a net-worth of over $100 million though and you consider people making $5 million to be “rich”, you leave details like that to the little people…
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said in an interview Wednesday that he was uncertain how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, own.
“I think — I’ll have my staff get to you,” McCain told Politico in Las Cruces, N.M. “It’s condominiums where — I’ll have them get to you.”
The correct answer is at least four, located in Arizona, California and Virginia, according to his staff. Newsweek estimated this summer that the couple owns at least seven properties. - Politico
Maybe that explains his lack of flag lapel pin this summer. He can’t remember which house he left it in.
I live in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI with my wife Jen, our daughter Emerson, and son Carter.

Can you lefty Wisconsin blogs take a look at talkingpointsmemo.com and check out the Election Central page?
We have to put this out there that this guy is a fraud, and I have no other way to get it into the mainstream than by hoping, via one of the blogs, it might eventually get to the Wisconsin MSM. Thanks!
Bogus China-Cuba Oil Myth Finds Its Way Into GOPer’s Campaign Ad
By Eric Kleefeld - August 21, 2008, 12:14PM
This just keeps getting better and better. We now have a Republican candidate for Congress putting the tall tale of Cuba being ready to drill for oil off of America’s shores into a campaign ad.
Here’s the new ad from John Gard of Wisconsin, who narrowly lost an open House race in 2006 and is now seeking a rematch against freshman Dem Steve Kagen:
In fact, Cuba is not “poised to drill” off of the Florida coast. Exploration leases have been granted by the Cuban government to various other countries to look for oil in Cuba’s waters — though no drilling has actually begun or is about to begin soon.
We previously caught Gard’s campaign distributing fliers that claimed drilling was already happening back in June.
