This'll be tough for McCain because our current economic situation is so directly tied to the housing crisis.
Maybe McCain isn't thought of as "rich," but it doesn't take a whole lot of persuasion to convince people that he doesn't have a feel for what's going on with the economy.
I'd say that 99% of Americans know exactly what their mortgage rate is each month, not to mention how many homes they own. (McCain does not have a mortgage.)
It fits perfectly into Obama's out-of-touch Washingtonian versus new ideas for today's world frame.
And it's tailor made for late night comedians, campaign media moments, and nonstop mockery from Obama from now until November.
