John McCain (web|news|bio) visited Little Rock Friday on the 5th day of his tour. He's going to places that he says have been forgotten which included a stop at an inner-city collage.

Senator John McCain and an entourage of local politicians made the rounds in the capitol city, where crowds included the enthusiastic and the curious.

Republican presidential candidate John McCain steps off a plane in Little Rock, hoping to shore up support. He and his wife Cindy were greeted by his former rival, Mike Huckabee and his wife Janet.  He quickly boarded his straight talk express and rolled into downtown Little Rock where supporters shelled out $2300 per person at a fundraiser at the capital hotel. Outside, a group of demonstrators from the AFL-CIO hoping to persuade passage of the employee free choice act.

(Alan Hughes, AFL-CIO, Arkansas President) "They haven't taken a position, all they see is 8 more years of Bush."

A post lunch-time stop at the Whole Hog Cafe, where AARP members were waiting to remind McCain of his campaign promises prior to a tour of the restaurant where a few lucky patrons got a photo op.

McCain's next stop, Arkansas Baptist College, a predominately black campus in an inner city neighborhood.

(Sen. John McCain, (R) Presidential Candidate) "I'm convinced there is an evil... Future generations of Americans."

(Brian Miller) "Did anything he said change your mind?" "I'm a democrat, but it did kind of sway my vote, I'm glad he's here."

The more pressing question for most Arkansans,  is there a potential role for Mike Huckabee.
