1. Speculation is he might endorse 'someone' and how big a deal
that would be. Hmmm indeed.

2. "Morning Joe" says "Endorsements don't Matter"
Perhaps not, but a Powell endorsement will suck the air out of 2-3 days or news cycles.

5. He did retract that after Halperin shot him down; Scab to me
doesn't seem to have too many original thoughts if his mind could change so easily.
Anyway, I'll be watching with interest even though I detest Brokaw. Powell could sure erase some of the stigma of the * years by doing the right thing now.

3. Yep.
It is going to help a lot, even though it may seem a bit late.

As Andrea M. noted on Mourning Joke, his endorsement will be important in influencing the more conservative "undecideds," plus -- and this is very significant -- it will give the "okay" to moderate republicans to vote for Obama & Biden.

4. It will be McCain and media will go berserk playing it every 10 minutes on TV.
