McCain's too many homes problem

Mansions_2John McCain, sounding not exactly like a man of the people, said yesterday he didn't know how many homes he has. The Barack Obama is jumping on it:

"The campaign will spend the day surveying Floridians by phone to ask this question: "Yesterday, John McCain couldn’t remember how many homes he owns because he has so many. The Obama campaign is trying to find Floridians who, like McCain, have lost track of the number of homes they own. Do you know how many homes you own?" The campaign will announce the results of the search late this afternoon.
