John McCain is not comfortable with all the money Mitt Romney's been receiving from former Santorum supporter—and casino mogul—Sheldon Adelson. The senator from Arizona explained on PBS NewsHour that it's not the $10 million Adelson just added to the Republican presidential nominee's coffers that bothers him, it's the fact that the money may have come from abroad. "Much of Mr. Adelson's casino profits that go to him come from this casino in Macau," said McCain. "Maybe in a roundabout way, foreign money is coming into American political campaigns."
