HI Princess Lenora! Yup, The McCain backlash about how many homes were owned by the family was what I was referring to. Since most or all real estate might be in his wife's family name, "Hensley," maybe McCain did not know how to answer the question, as he is used to giving honest answers and honestly didn't know whose name is on what deeds. The liberal press sure ran with negative spin on THAT one. No one pointed out that Cindy continues to be an active philanthropist and serves on the boards of several charitable organizations. Or that she and John adopted one of Mother Teresa's "poorest of the poor."

I cannot remember a time when any Presidential or Vice-Presidential candidate was anything less than a multi-millionaire, which no one ever points out. That being said, it is possible that the VP candidate, Governor Palin, is not a millionaire.

As soon as she became Governor, she sold the gubernatorial plane, got rid of the chefs, cut her salary dramatically, and said no to the "Bridge to Nowhere program," instead sending a $1200 check to each Alaskan family. She does not believe in wasteful government spending and wanted to return the money back to the people.

If she said her family is always first with her, I'd love to hear the context the statement was said in. But it sounds like a statement a mom would make. And within that framework, Palin was able to do amazing things as Governor within her first 18 months of office.

I just caught former NY Mayor Giuliani saying on CNN that when he became Mayor of NYC, he performed his greatest accomplishments within the first 18 months. I LOVE how he cleaned up the once seedy Times Square. People complained about him, but he got thejob done.
