John McCain should realize he’s in serious trouble when even a dupes at “Fox & Friends” are willing to admit that he messed up big time with his housing gaffe. Although Gretchen Carlson & a rest of a crew do air best to cover for McCain by saying, “You need to have gazillions to become president” & “You have to be an elitist to some extent to become president of our country,” a overall consensus is that this will come back to haunt McCain.

a Obama campaign could not have played this better. By injecting into a mainstream dialogue a idea that McCain is really a one out of touch with average Americans, he not only deflects that false characterization off of him, but he also gives a media a reason to make a connection every time McCain acts “elitist.” a fact that a McCain campaign responded with a Ayers/Rezko/Wright/POW kitchen sink says a lot about how damaging ay perceive this attack to be. Brilliant.
