Adding on to tas’s comment:

You also have to remember that Hillary Rodham Clinton used tried and true appeals to white racism to get those working class votes.

McCain’s recollection and memory is going so downhill…..unable to count the number of houses he owns is outright pathetic or just pure elitist!! He truly needs Sen. Liebermann’s help again!! I bet he does not even know he owns a pair of $500 dollar loafers or perhaps admit he owns a private jet, as he is so damn confused of the numerous properties he owns!! What a loser and out of touch!!!! Is this type of president we want to lead us….what a shame.

The Democrats should seize this moment as this is a huge gaffe from Sen. McShame!!! Go Democrats Go!!!!

You’re depending on polling data accrued before McCain admitted that he doesn’t even know how many houses he owns. I wonder how many voters think he “has a background and set of values that [they] can identify with” now.

You left this out from Cillizza

“In this campaign, it is Obama who has struggled to convince voters that he shares their hopes and worries. During the protracted primary fight, Obama regularly lost working class voters to Hillary Rodham Clinton — even long after it became clear he was the odds-on nominee of the party.

Depending on which data points you look at, Obama continues to be plagued by a lack of connection with voters…

In the most recent NBC/Wall Street Journal, a national sample was asked whether McCain or Obama “has a background and set of values that you can identify with.” Sixty percent said McCain had a background they identified with while 33 percent said he did not. The numbers were far more divided for Obama with 50 percent saying he had a background they could identify with and 42 percent saying he did not.”

[...] For those of you who don’t know the background of today’s little nuclear bomb of furious accusations and threats to go negative (you mean McCain hasn’t already?) it basically boils down to this: [...]

McCain is not only confused as to how many houses he owns, he is also Confused on Foreign Affairs! For example, The Below link exposes and reveals John McCain’s really bad lack of knowledge regarding foreign affairs — supposedly his strong point!

It is unfoturnate that we have to get the truth from other countries rather than our Republican-owned main stream media — which is a derelict of duty to the American public. They failed us after 911 and they are still failing us now. Thank God we have the Internet and Blogs wherein we can find the truth.
