Think that they will put up Colin Powell as V.P.
it would get allot of voters for the repugs but think it would make them lose the redneck votes?

1. I get the feeling he's tired of being sold out.
I think he wants out for good now.

5. The only (living) racists that I know are Republicans.
I live in Georgia. Many of our Republicans were formerly Dixiecrats.

I knew some very old folks, long since dead, who were Democrats and racists.

3. I think that ship has sailed
I mean I'm sure they would like to, but after the way he was treated, I can't believe he would accept. Condoleeza is a better shot.

I think, anyway.

8. They would be more likely to put up Condi
she is a team player--Powell isn't.

10. I think that Powell has washed his hands of these guys.
His reputation was tarnished. He lied down with the dogs(and sold his soul too), and woke up with fleas!
