Barack Obama and Democrats, who jumped on John McCain joshing that it would take $5 million a year to be truly rich, are now hyping McCain's slip-up that he didn't know how many houses he and his wife Cindy own.

"I think -- I'll have my staff get to you," McCain responded, according to a story posted on the Politico website today. "It's condominiums where -- I'll have them get to you."

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

No Mcgovern repeat 08

Yeah how could ANYONE not know how many houses they own?

Obama walked into this one, McCain was apparently ready with the Tony Rezko/Obama housing deal. Maybe he didnt "forget' how many houses he owns after all? Looks like the Old guy just "played" Obama!

The McCain campaign was getting the site ready Thursday afternoon. McCain surrogates on television were being armed with facts about Rezko's relationship to Obama's purchase of his Chicago home in 2005.

Previewing the message the campaign will seek to drive, a McCain spokesman said: "In an attempt to make something stick, Barack Obama has re-aired his dirty laundry with convicted felon Tony Rezko that led to a highly questionable land deal. Rezko's dirty dealings are well-documented and his relationship with Barack Obama goes back 20 years."

That's a good question. How could anyone not know how many houses they own? Don't you know how many houses you own? Reminds me a bit of this.

Obama walked into this one, McCain was apparently ready with the Tony Rezko/Obama housing deal.

The Rezko deal is old news, with every inquiry finding no wrongdoing on the part of Obama. *Yawn*
