Play from 0:00[0:00]" Politics on WBZ and Republicans. Strategists and adviser Charlie Manning is with us as we take a look at. Republican John McCain is full pot of them clearly a misstatement when he was asked by a reporter how many homes he and mrs. McCain owned. And he didn't have the answer. It turns out that it is either seven as Barack Obama's immediate. A campaign ads suggest or -- is politically online. Political news service has counted. Charlie how serious again --"

Play from 0:34[0:34]" I think it's something that's going to -- firearm Obama for making it could be you -- it. Usually in the campaign when you're going to take your opponent on on in the she'd try to anticipate what the comeback is going to be. In the fact that he's that Obama portfolios -- constituent is running at about it. Brings up -- whole story about how he bought his mansion in Chicago with the aid of Tony rest go to the convicted -- Salinger if convicted in the federal trial. Who helped -- buy it. And so you have to wonder about the Obama campaign they have anticipate. That this would be the comeback from the McCain campaign. In this sort of that border into a trap on the Obama's when it's hoped campaigns think. I'm different I'm not a Paul is yet but convicted album helped him by his mansion in Chicago that's not a good story for Obama."

Play from 1:27[1:27]" I believe that there were Rezko is involvement may have been was a vacant lot which was a small parcel next to. The Obama property group which itself is of substantial one million dollar mansion in Chicago. And that the Rezko was. Is sold at the the property to Obama and it's at something of a discounted the."

Play from 1:46[1:46]" Right what happened this Obama got a sweetheart deal on the house because rats go all repaid the former owners for the lot next. The war so the people got the price they wanted the whole amount of property because rats go overpaid for the vacant lot some of which he is sold back to Obama at a cheaper price. In Obama got a really nice steal or that big mansion the --"

Play from 2:11[2:11]" There's no suggestion as far as I know that John and Cindy McCain acquired any of their property through. Means otherwise. Then than his income and her substantial inheritance. An ongoing and come from the Helmsley. Beer distributor ship the biggest and in there's only one of the biggest Independent and as the bush distributions in the country actually. And she has plenty of money the but the issue would appear to be is McCain out of touch when he was asked. That that meeting at a Church in California last weekend. To define Ritchie said 5000005. Million is rich -- what about. One million what about. The 150000. To a lot of people it's big big money and -- then that the news that he can't count the number of houses he he has doesn't make him look out of touch."

Play from 2:59[2:59]" Well I don't think those with things that mattered to John McCain. Most of the air. The you know people lived on his US senate salary ever since he's been elected to the Senate and they seem to have one of those relationship where. This is McCain has her money and out with that what she wants and that's fine and John McCain was on his money and that's the way he got -- so and it's just basically his senate salary I don't think John McCain's ever been perceived as someone. Who's sort of rich and out of touch with folks I think it's just the other way around."

Play from 3:32[3:32]" But the fact is they do have a couple of waterfront properties in Coronado California of course the ranch in Sedona he is a place where he lives in Washington. And the other properties that they have. He went when he says as the Obama head. Suggests that McCain thinks the the economy's good because. He didn't even -- how many houses he has. Is that. A charge would little -- John McCain. "

Play from 3:56[3:56]" Will begin the quote that the Obama people are using his from the that they act in the morning where John McCain was talking about the economy -- the says. Overall fundamentals are okay. But we are hitting a bump in the road and of course the Obama rats -- lead take out the work catingub bump in the road part of the quote. So you know that's the type of politic -- bomber is really thinking too if you're gonna quote someone quote the whole quote don't don't just pick -- cute like that."

Play from 4:27[4:27]" is Friday Charlie and we take a week from now McCain will announce his choice of running mate right after the a democratic convention is trying to mute the expected bump that Obama and his running that we get from that I know we've told us in the past you'd like to see Mitt Romney considered. Let me ask you to guess whom Barack Obama is going to name either late today -- sometime tomorrow."

Play from 4:50[4:50]" I really don't know the whole public campaign ever since they got back from the overseas trip seems to be. Sort of stuttering around it if you remember earlier this week. I think with on Monday they told the New York Times the decision had been made in it would be announced on Tuesday or Wednesday. In here we are on Friday it's still no announcement and finally yesterday they had run Obama around in front of the Preston played well I've finally made the decision. So it doesn't sound like they've really got their team together. The whole back and forth with McCain on how does that that's another thing that chose me disorders and panic mode here and I think it could it be. Very happy to get to the convention in Denver where they can control we gender and."

Play from 5:32[5:32]" He'll let me ask you then of all the potential. Short list -- longer list candidates. Whom he might choose who -- view as a Republicans. Like least to have to face in November. Well -- hero but it is just what just one name and MSU as a Republican not his that is a Democrat. If if if who was your nightmare running mate for him in terms of appeal and the ability to siphon votes away from practically of independence from McCain."

Play from 5:59[5:59]" The the best choice for him and the that's one for the Republicans would be Hillary Clinton. Because she would bring all those women who are not voting for Obama back into the party but I don't think it's going to be Clinton. If you believe Virginia is going to be one of the major states here that are going to decide things. You'd think me contained the governor of Virginia could the market for Obama if he could definitely help him carry Virginia."

Play from 6:28[6:28]" Charlie Manning Republican strategist with a -- WBZ thanks Charlie greatly populated by bundling."
