Is there a starker contrast? "Regular Joes" Obama/Biden vs. "Moneybags" McCain/Romney

[Unsane]

Houses owned between Obama and Biden = 2

Houses owned between Romney and McCain = 15

I'm starting to see a theme here....

Out. Of. Touch.

[Muttocracy]

1. We should do a math thread on the GOP VP possibilities

Do any of them own negative 8 houses?

[Unsane]

2. lol

[jezebel]

3. I actually think Romney's chances go for VP pick go down with the whole housegate issue. nt

[winga222]

4. I think that house remark took Romney out of the running

No way they're marching forward with two really, really rich guys. Probably looking to keep the VP to borderline stinking rich - like McCain's out-of-thin-air $5MM range for richies.

[Unsane]

5. I surely hope Romney's the guy.

[RichGirl]

10. Not just that...

McCain is talking about the draft and Romney has 5 (FIVE!) strapping young sons of military age who will never serve...oh, except to drive the McCain/Romney straight talk bus.

17. Shoot I want to make more magic underwear jokes nt

[frogcycle]

6. plus

Biden has the lowest net worth of any Senator

Biden rides public transportation to work; mccain takes a 9-car convoy to go to Starbucks...

Biden started his career as a civil-rights attorney in an all-black firm; mccain married money and romney inherited it

Bidens first wife and two children were killed in a car crash; his sister helped raise the remaining child until he eventually remarried; mccain's first wife was maimed in a car crash so he ditched her for a beer heiress

7. Whew, Plouffe and co. could paint some devestating pictures.

8. A much starker contrast to McCain/Romney..

...would be Obama/Clinton.

[Unsane]

9. huh? You mean 50 million Bill?

[RichGirl]

11. First...Bill earned his money...

...didn't inherit it or marry it. But, I'm not talking about that. A black man and woman would be a stark contrast to any ticket they will come up with or any ticket ever!

12. kick

13. Biden, a "regular Joe" no one is going to believe that.

[Naturyl]

19. Yeah? Why not?

He's one of the least wealthy Senators and his financial situation is not much different than many ordinary Americans.

He's as close to a "regular Joe" as you're going to find in government. But feel free to keep knocking down our ticket with false claims.

[Unsane]

20. no kidding

[onicodnem]

22. The Bankers' Best Friend

Joe Biden, D-MBNA.

[Unsane]

14. kick

15. kick

16. Does the Joe in Joe Biden balance out the Barack in Barack Obama

I mean Joe.. can't get a more "American" sounding name.

[VolcanoJen]

18. Which is pretty much why it's not going to be Romney.

Not now. McCain got pwn3d. What's next... Carly Fiorina? At this point, I'm thinking they're going to have to play the Gimmick Card.

[onicodnem]

21. The Senator from MBNA is not for the working people

It's as simple as that.
