Yea, its tough to be John McCain.

Man it sure sucks to be John McCain. Wish I had these problems: Must be nice to have that kind of money. Condo in Crystal City, home in Sedona, Condo in Phoenix, one in San Diego, and then investments besides? Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, “Trading Up”.

Progress report……
