The A.F.L.-C.I.O. and the Service Employees International Union have feuded plenty in recent years, but they have banded together to help distribute and publicize a new online video that characterizes Senator John McCain as elitist and out of touch.
The four-minute video, produced by Robert Greenwald of Brave New Films, is called "McCain’s Mansions: the Real Elitist" and showcases various McCain homes and condominiums in Arizona, California and Virginia, with one valued at $4.66 million.
While highlighting the wealth of Mr. McCain and his wife, Cindy – the video also includes a cable news clip poking fun at Mr. McCain’s $520 calfskin loafers made by Salvatore Ferragamo – the video also focuses on the tale of Eileen Gillis, described as a systems engineer and sales clerk whose house in Connecticut was foreclosed upon.
The artilce goes on to say...
Mr. Greenwald’s company, Brave New Films, which has made films castigating Wal-Mart and Fox News, said that it planned, with the help of the A.F.L.-C.I.O and service employees, to distribute McCain’s Mansions to more than 500,000 voters. It offers the effort as a sort-of-chain Web video, imploring viewers and supporters to send it along to five friends.

Don't forget to pass this on to 5 of your friends.
The RNCs WEAK response to the video:
"Considering Barack Obama lives in a multi-million dollar house bought with the help of his buddy, Tony Rezko, who is now a convicted felon, it’s odd that Obama’s supporters would choose to make the candidates’ homes an iissue."
