houses

you know, i *wish* politics could be civil and fairly rational and issues based... but its not.

anyway, while I find all these sorts of attacks silly (e.g., obama is a celebrity, ooh! McCain doesn't know how many houses he has, aah!) I am glad to see that finally Obama is starting to play the game.

And it is amazing how the media loves this trivial shit. It is easy to understand, petty, and right up their alley.

Anyway looks like McCain's houses gaffe is going to get some play for a while.

Here's Krugman's take on the issue.
