Unions Protest Outside McCain's Va. Condo

[EV_Ares]

A quick-fingered concierge clicked the glass doors locked before protesters could file into the lobby of John McCain's Arlington condo complex today.

The 50 labor organizers and workers who had gathered to call attention to McCain's economic policies and multiple residences then proceeded to march in a tight circle around the maple tree out front.

"They are blocking our driveway!" snapped the desk attendant, impatient for the police watching outside to jump into action as the crowd chanted, "One, four, seven, ten, how many houses do you have again?"

The carefully choreographed demonstration -- one protester held a sign reading, "Can I crash on one of your couches?" -- was meant to tap economic anxiety in a week of frightening financial news.

1. But McCain doesn't care -- becuase he doesn't know he owns it.

5. I highly doubt he doesn't know - the propinquity to DC tells me he stays there.

This unit is located in Crystal City, which overlooks the Potomac, RIGHT across from DC. I used to live in Crystal City. It's very close to Reagan airport and 10 minutes from downtown DC by highway 395. He probably stays there as a getaway from the DC area when he comes into town, or nights before his flights to other areas of the country.

I would bet you anything he's spent at least a night there in the last 30 days.
