Home foreclosures continue to be one of the most contentious issues on the campaign trail, and it is not bound to evaporate as an issue any time soon. That having been said, was it a "Senior Moment" -- a la Rex Reed -- that prompted the Senior Senator from Arizona to stumble when asked how many homes he has? Granted, economics is not a McCain strong suit, but most people know how many residence options they have at any given moment. And a decline in short term memory, though, does not explain the fact that a future President of these United States should probably have that information at the ready. From Politico:
"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 us 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."
