Tommy Thompson Forgets Number Of Homes He Owns

In the 2008 election, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) famously forgot how many houses he owned. This cycle, it's Wisconsin GOP Senate candidate Tommy Thompson who is having trouble remembering.

"Three," Thompson said last week at a campaign event, when a reporter asked him how many houses he owned. When pressed on whether he had another one, Thompson firmly replied, "No."

Actually, there is a fourth property, as his campaign later clarified.

Daniel Bice at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that Thompson has a house in his hometown of Elroy, Wis., a house in Madison and "a relatively new 10,889-square-foot home on the outskirts of the Walt Disney World Resort in Kissimmee, Fla." The fourth place is a condo off Lake Wisconsin that's assessed at more than $1.3 million. The campaign confirmed to the Journal Sentinel that Thompson had forgotten the condo.

1. Now, now. A condo is not a home. It's where you go to take vacations from your home(s).

Perfectly understandable.

2. Hopefully this will help Baldwin

She's ahead in the polls, and this could keep her there.

3. Yeah, he conveniently Forgot!

4. Why does he need 4 homes?

He almost sounds like Romney.

And while I don't normally think it's right to judge candidates on age, he has been on the public dime a lot of his life, so why does he want to become a Senator at the age of 71? Kind of an odd age to run for Senate for the first time.

5. A lot of republican candidates seem to have this problem. Remember McCain?

and if Romney is asked, he will give you a different answer depending on which day it is.
