Car wars '08: McCain owns 13 cars... Obama drives a plane

As part of an effort to portray senator John McCain as aristocratic and out-of-touch, the Obama camp has seized upon some and very ungreen information about McCain's automotive habits: he owns 13 cars. In the scuppie bible, that kind of wanton ownership of unecessary expensive items most certainly constitutes a mortal eco-sin. To make matters worse, two of these cars are foreign-made -- a Honda and a Volkswagen. Unbelievable, yet it's true.

Obama, so they say, owns only one car -- a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid. Of course, he (or possibly his campaign) is also the proud owner of a Boeing 757, aka the O-Force One. Great name, but it's not exactly the greenest campaign vehicle on the road. That title might go to Washington's incumbent governor Chris Gregoire and her biodiesel campaign bus
