Nice Investment

I was reading this and I was wondering how does a guy who has been a Senator for 20 years, probably averaging about a 100K per year over that 20 years, and has raised 7 kids, afford a $3.75 million dollar 'mansion'? The answer was in the last sentence...He did it the old fashion way-he married into it.

McCains having trouble selling mansion PHOENIX, Jan. 26 (UPI) -- Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., tests the declining real estate market as he tries to sell his recently price-reduced $3.75 million Phoenix mansion. The 11,000 square foot estate, with its nine bedrooms and eight bathrooms -- and eight surveillance cameras -- has been on the market for three months. McCain and his wife, Cindy, who grew up in the house, want to downsize.

John McCain will be the Republican's nominee in 2008 and he will bear the scrutiny that I'm sure has come up in his previous elections in Arizona but we will see how it holds up nationally.
