I guess it's a good thing.....blaaaahhhhhhh


Powell likely will enter Obama's camp at a time of his own choosing. The best bet is that neither will back John McCain in 2008.



Colin Powell is said by friends to share Hunter's analysis of the GOP. His tenuous 13-year relationship with the Republican Party, after his retirement from the Army, has ended. The national security adviser for Reagan left the present administration bitter about being ushered out of the State Department a year earlier than he wanted. As an African American, friends say, Powell is sensitive to racial attacks on Obama, and especially his wife. While McCain strategists shrug off defections from Bartlett and Hunter, they wince in anticipation of headlines about Powell's expected endorsement of Obama

1. Powell the enabler. He had his chance but he put his party before the people.

i have no respect for him.

2. zackly, but most people don't see it that way, and it probably will help

him among certain categories of pugs, some of whom might feel that they got lied to just like Powell

also people who think O is weak on defense/terra, etc.

could be a plus for him

I hope so, but that's with a hold-my-nose hope so, which has been for every dem I've voted for in memory

3. Powell should just go back under the rock he

cralwed out from under and make certain there is oily sand to bury his fool he in.

4. after the O campaign wrings every last bit of political advantage

they can squeeze from him

yes?

5. Doesn't he need to be cleared by Homeland Security before he can defect?

:sarcasm:

6. Should that occur I'd like to see Obama

publicly disavow and reject Powell's support. But that won't happen.
