• Condi Rice endorsed Mitt Romney Wednesday night

Mitt Romney was in the San Francisco Bay Area Wednesday night, where he was formally endorsed by former Secretary of States Condoleeza Rice and George Schultz. Although that's "news" only in the sense that the pair hadn't done so yet.

As the New York Times reports, there are some notable figures in the GOP political establishment who have yet to endorse the presumptive presidential nominee five months before the general election.

One of those heavyweights is Henry Kissinger, who the Times reports is a bit miffed at Mitt's dissing of China in the campaign.

Then there's Brent Scowcroft, George H.W. Bush's former national security adviser, who believes the Republican Party has shifted so far to the right in the two decades since he left power in Washington that he calls himself a man without a political party.
