I was expecting the title to turn into a play on words...you know..McCain facing a "Grave Problem"...bah whatever .....

I don't think this is any bigger a problem than candidates face every week on the campaign trail. ALL politicians are out of touch with the average American (and yes to those who think Obama doesn't count..he does) and most folks get that.

This will sway some voters here and there (like pretty much anything else) but its not going to turn into a major issue that plagues the campaign or turns the tide one way or the other.

Thats my $0.02

 

Well, Obama was at least poor for a healthy percentage of his life, which is better than McCain has to say.  But I agree that pretty much any politician is out of touch.

 

Uhm, I don't really think its a battle for who was the most impoverished for the longest.  The point is that right here and now they are both wealthy, they both have entourages, they both have body guards, they both have political power, and they both have a massive following of media watching their every move. 

They simply do not lead anywhere near the day to day life that the average American does and in that situation so far removed from normalcy you cannot help but be out of touch
