The Stare, Rice and Rockefeller

In the News: After accusing John McCain of not caring for people because he dropped bombs on Vietnam, Senator Rockefeller apoligized (but does he mean it?). Condoleeza Rice denied the rumors that she has any intention of becoming a running mate for McCain. Instead, she will reportedly head back to Stanford University. McCain accused the promises of the Democratic nominees that outline a plan of removal of troops from Iraq as a "failure of leadership." So what then is a "success of leadership." African American leaders such as Oscar Tillman, part of the NAACP, and Campbell Jr. say that the relationship between McCain and African Americans is becoming strained. This could seriously injure McCain's chances at becoming the next president. He better step up. Also, McCain is well behind in campaign finances, raising only $15 million dollars in March, $5 million behind Clinton and $25 million behind Obama. And McCain, to his great horror, was treated with THE STARE of Hillary Clinton during hearings on Iraq with General Petraeus.
Endorsements: National Right to Life endorsed McCain. This will hopefully get him a boost with the social conservatives.
