Article from South Florida Times. Why does McCain refuse to acknowledge and/or visit McCain Family Reunions?
It sounds like all the other McCains, white and black, get along just fine.

excerpt:
Some of McCain's black relatives support Obama
BY ELGIN JONES
In the rural Teoc community of Carroll County, Miss., where the ancestors of Sen. John McCain owned enslaved Africans on a plantation, black, white and mixed-race family members unite every two years for their Coming Home Reunion, on the land where the plantation operated. Some of McCain’s black family members say they are not sure exactly where they fall on the family tree, but they do know this: They are either descendants of the McCain family slaves, or of children the McCains fathered with their slaves.
White and black members of the McCain family have met on the plantation several times over the last 15 years, but one invited guest has been conspicuously absent: Sen. John Sidney McCain.

The racist tone of the McCain campaign has been very disturbing.
Yet, General Powell's interview on Face the Nation(10/19/08) was informative and articulate. Another good day for America.
