$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.

You actually think Biden's real net worth is $100,000? O.k., it is possible, I read the book "Die Broke" about 10 years ago and the author discussed many strategies on how to control wealth and be "broke".
I exaggerated and no factual basis regarding my comment about Biden and the private plane, I now understand that he takes a train home and is a "regular" guy.

After those three I got bored, but what was your point? Perhaps that Biden and Obama both have problems with saving, investing, living within their means, and generating wealth for their families. Is that it?
{added} O.k., I just looked up Bidden on the Open Secrets Website for 2006. I cut this from the page:

First if his net worth is negative after being in the senate since 1972, am I the only one who whould have a problem with that?
Second, how many Senators do we have?
