Just Noticing....

Just noticing....

Everytime John McCain addresses black audiences, he brings along former MD Lt. Gov. Michael Steele.  NAACP? Check. Urban League, Check. Granted, Steele has relationships with these groups, but there's probably no need for McCain bring along the only high-profile African American political leader in your outer-inner circle... Just showing up is evidence of political courage....he doesn't need a black person to validate his affection for the black community.
