So, John McCain might be trying to liken Barack Obama to celebrities like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in a new TV ad, but our Arizona senator is the one whose former home is being listed as a celebrity property.
Yes, it's a buyer's market — but the current owner of John and Cindy's old North Phoenix home is hoping that with the couple enjoying a national spotlight, she can charge a hefty price for the 14,000-square-foot pad.
The McCains sold the crib to real-estate investor Jane Popple in 2006, and now she's asking $12 million for it — nearly four times what she paid.
The couple lived in the home for 20 years, and while it's Cindy's childhood home, Popple has renovated the house, according to her agent, Bob Hassett. New features include a seven-car garage and a four-bedroom guest apartment.
