    Not bad, nearly as many as Blair.

    Are they all houses he uses or are they investments? Given that you have to be a millionaire (or have millionaire backers) to run for President in the US, it shouldn’t come as that much of a surprise. I also don’t buy this very British idea that because a politician is rich, they can’t formulate policies which will help ordinary people.

    If he can’t keep track of seven houses how can he run a country? I think this is a priceless statement.

    Hard to tell how much he uses these houses, but I’m sure that McCain’s inability to remember how many he owns will affect the American voters, given the severity of their housing crisis.
