John and Cindy McCain own a plethora of houses spread throughout the United States, including: two beachfront condos in Coronado, California, condo in La Jolla, California, a two-unit condominium complex in Phoenix, Arizona, three ranch houses located outside of Sedona, Arizona, a high-rise condo in Arlington, Virginia, a rental loft, and, according to GQ, a loft they bought for their daughter, Meghan.

In recent weeks, Democrats have stepped up their effort to caricature McCain as living an outlandishly rich lifestyle — a bit of payback to the GOP for portraying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) as an elitist, and for turning the spotlight in 2004 on the five homes owned by Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry.

Pro-Obama labor groups have sent out mailers highlighting McCain’s wealth, and prominent Democrats have included references to it in comments to reporters.

Twice in the past two weeks, those Democrats have focused on McCain’s houses.

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) told Politico’s Ben Smith that it was McCain “who wears $500 shoes, has six houses and comes from one of the richest families in his state.”

And David Axelrod, Obama’s chief strategist, referred in an interview with Adam Nagourney of The New York Times to an imagined meeting of McCain strategists “on the portico of the McCain estate in Sedona — or maybe in one of his six other houses.”

Mccain called Obama an elitist what a joke!

I think everyone knows who the elitist is now.

When Monica Goodling testified last week, she revealed something that hasn’t gotten much attention but should. She admitted that Rove’s #1 man, Tim Griffin, was engaged in vote caging in the 2004 election.
Vote caging has been illegal since 1986, when the Republicans were caught in the act. They tried to have 31,000 voters, most of them black, taken from the rolls
in Louisana. Vote caging consists of a variety of methods of ensuring that large numbers of citizens can’t vote.
One of the methods the Republicans have used is to send out mass mailers of registered mail to minority neighborhoods, poor areas, or to black members of
the military. When these persons go to vote, they are challenged. It is up to them, sometimes at considerable expense, to prove they qualify to vote. Some are given a
provisional ballot which are usually not counted. The provisional voes in Florida 6 years ago still haven’t been counted. Absentee ballots submitted by the military are also challenged.
