The Case of the Million Dollar Cabin

John McCain owns a 20 acre vacation property in Arizona worth over $1 million where he’s going to spend the week of the Democratic Convention. Or as Jonathan Martin puts it “the candidate is now at his cabin in Sedona, which he’ll make his base of operations as the spotlight focuses on Obama.” Admittedly, rich people who vacation in Maine have a tendency to call their summer homes “cabins” no matter how lavish they get, so it’s hardly as if McCain and/or Martin are being unique in this regard but it’s still a bit absurd.
