In order to keep this whole house flap alive, you have to constantly come up with new angles to push. One obvious one is that, according to the Veterans Administration, "nearly 200,000 veterans are homeless on any given night. And nearly 400,000 experience homelessness over the course of a year."
The contrast with John McCain -- and his multiple million dollar homes, is about as stark as it gets.
Not only that, it allows the Obama campaign to hit McCain on his lackluster support for veterans programs, such as his initial opposition to Jim Webb's GI Bill.
Last year, Barack Obama introduced a major homeless veterans bill. In July of this year the House version was passed overwhelmingly, but President Bush threatened to veto the bill.
The senate bill is here.
Will John McCain support the bill, or will he support President Bush's veto threat?
Support the Homes for Heroes Act.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: For ways you can get involved and help homeless veterans visit the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans website. This isn't some political tactic. It really should be something we work hard to deal with regardless of the election.
