Re: Colin Powell endorses Obama
Not surprising, but (in my opinion) Powell is one of those guys who when he speaks you listen. I would have loved to seen him on a presidential ticket. I tend to agree with him when he says it's not so much about McCain but about his fears of the direction of the Republican party.

Re: Colin Powell endorses Obama
That's a nice endorsement but hardly changes anything. What's more news worthy is that Obama raised more than 150 million dollars in September.

Re: Colin Powell endorses Obama
Full endorsement in full context...it's the most reasoned endorsement I have ever seen:
The picture he's talking about:

Don't agree with Powell on some of his points or his final choice, but he has made a thoughtful choice. I wish all folks voting would look at the candidates and issues as thoughtfully (not suggesting anyone here doesn't do that). I don't know WTF Rush is talking about, he certainly isn't helping McCain's chances with his nonsense. Way to not alienate undecideds/moderates Rush ????? Powell mentioned twice that the GOP has moved too far to the right. On social issues, he's correct. On fiscal issues, the Bush administration has ballooned gov't spending more than Clinton did. Certainly nothing conservative happened spending wise in the last 8 years.

Re: Colin Powell endorses Obama
Much respect to C. Powell. Had he run, he would have my vote as well.

Re: Colin Powell endorses Obama
Anybody hear Rush Limbaugh on this issue ?
He's mixing a speech from Obama reacting to his new supporter with Powell's speech to the U.N. on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. Obviously asking the question of why Obama is so pleased with the endorsement of a person who initially opposed him on the Iraq war. |

Re: Colin Powell endorses Obama
Ok, Powell Supports Obama, but does Obama support Colin? It would be pretty shitty if he didn't.

Support Colin for what? Powell isn't running for public office. Can't you accept support from someone who doesn't totally agree with you? |
