Correction...Colin Powell USED to be one of the most admired
people in this country! That is, until Bush and Co. got hold of him. Yet another tragedy created by shrub. I can hardly stand listening to this jerk speak in honor of the great MLK!

1. Powell is no longer looked upon with any credibility by those in
this country or by other nations. How could they?

2. Don't count Powell out yet
check this out:
http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x14216.xml

Secretary of State Colin Powell beats Attorney General Eliot Spitzer 47 – 42 percent in an early look at the 2006 New York governor’s race, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

Spitzer tops Republican Gov. George Pataki 50 – 38 percent if the two face off, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds.

In these early matchups, there is some shift of black and independent voters from Spitzer if he runs against Pataki, to Powell, if he faces Spitzer.

If Gov. Pataki decides to run for U.S. Senate in 2006, he would lose to incumbent Hillary Clinton 58 – 36 percent. Sen. Clinton holds off Powell by a narrow 49 – 44 percent margin.

3. You're Right; still a powerful vote getter.
Not sure I understand it as he has come out with uncredible stuff with this current administration.
