Today former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan announced that he was backing McCain stating:

“I’m Republican and I support John McCain, who I know very well and who I respect a lot,” he said.

Meanwhile ABC News reports that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is “actively courting the vice presidential nomination, Republican strategist Dan Senor said.”

Condi Rice has been actively, actually in recent weeks, campaigning for this,” Senor said this morning on “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.”

According to Senor, Rice has been cozying up to the Republican elite.

“There’s this ritual in Washington: The Americans for Tax Reform, which is headed by Grover Norquist, he holds a weekly meeting of conservative leaders — about 100, 150 people, sort of inside, chattering, class types,” Senor said. “They all typically get briefings from political conservative leaders. Ten days ago, they had an interesting visit — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice — the first time a secretary of state has visited the Wednesday meeting.”
