Candidates' homes have a way of becoming campaign fodder during presidential campaigns. John McCain was lampooned for being unable to say how many homes he owned in 2008. In 2012, Mitt Romney was mocked for building a car elevator in his La Jolla, Calif. residence. And this past June, Hillary Clinton drew guffaws when she said she and President Bill Clinton left the White House in 2000 "dead broke" and had to increase their earnings to "pay off the debts and get us houses." As the 2016 campaign heats up, you'll likely be hearing more about one or two of these homes. Methodology, The listings above reflect only the candidates' residences available in public records.
