With the selection of Joe Biden as his running mate, Barack Obama has set the stage for what many believe will be a ticket of the “haves” McCain (~$40M net worth) and Romney (~$200M) against the “have nots” Obama (~$1.3M) and Biden (~$100k.) Romney has not yet been confirmed as McCain’s running mate, but it’s widely believed he will be the choice. I can imagine the Ad now:

John McCain is so rich, he doesn’t even know how many houses he has and must have his staff verify the number for him. He thinks that people who earn the small sum of $4M per year are not rich. His chief economic advisor says our economic problems are all in our heads. McCain just dropped $700,000 on a home for his daughter. Not to mention his running mate Mr. Romney who is worth over $200M.

Barack Obama just has managed to pay off the loans he took to get through college, in his family, daughters get an allowance of $1 per week.

Which candidate is better equipped to understand the pain you’ve suffered over the past eight years?

You get the idea…this should be entertaining. For your reading pleasure, Democratic Candidate Net Worth || Republican Candidate Net Worth
