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

Well, I don't know about you, but I think most people can relate to a self-starter (Obama) more than someone who never had to worry about money for the majority of his life (McCain). Just because every politician is out of touch doesn't mean that some aren't MORE out of touch.

As far as I know they both married into money so I'm not sure what you mean.
McCain had his family connections in the Navy sure, but they weren't exactly rolling in the cash from what I've seen. In fact Cindy had to bring something like 150k out of her trust fund to fund McCain's first congressional run. Without that he likely would have never been a name any of us were talking about.

Fat lot of good those did him. All he got from that was one stay at a Hilton (albeit the one in Hanoi and a quite lengthy stay at that).
