Guess his net worth.

$250,000,000? Bzzt. That's Mitt.

$25,000,000? Bzzt. That's 7 house McCain

$100,000,000? Bzzt. That's outdoorsman Sarah Palin.


$100,000 ding ding ding! Get your stereotypes out of your shed, Ace. Some people sit on their asses in Alaska, and democrats don't sleep on money matresses collected from the masses.

Vote for who you want, but at least be informed.
In fact, Biden had the lowest average net worth in the Senate (from 2006 figures, ranked 108th, which included incoming and outgoing Senators that year, which explains why more than 100).
Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del) - 2006 | OpenSecrets


McCain has the eighth highest.
John McCain (R-Ariz) - 2006 | OpenSecrets
