Sometimes a picture can say a thousand words, but videos can tell a whole story.

Jed Lewison from political blog JedReport has put together a great four and a half minute video showing off the various residences owned by political candidate John McCain. There are approximately nine properties in all shown in the video. Lewison created the video using Google Earth of all things, and adds little tidbits of knowledge with each house, including price tags and historical information.

You can get the entire map used in the video here.
