2. My guess. Powell will endorse his fellow veteran
Powell probably thinks McCain can just as easily bring America's status back up as Obama can and McCain's foreign affairs experience will tip the scales.

Even Hagel, who disagrees with McCain on certain issues and traveled with Obama to the Middle East still won't step up to completely endorse Obama.

6. That's all fine and good...but...
...when Powell endorses McCain he is also endorsing Palin. How is he going to claim that this proven idiot who doesn't have a clue about foreign policy is qualified to be President!!!!

10. I don't think Powell cares about Palin....McCain is his chance to get back into a position
Edited on Fri Oct-17-08 07:53 AM by Mike Daniels
The Dem base would raise holy hell if Obama floated a position to Powell so where's the incentive for Powell to endorse Obama?

Besides, if McCain croaks while in office Palin's going to need to draw on seasoned people with experience so Powell's still well in line for a position in her admin.

4. This is the man who sold the war
I do not trust him and futhermore don't believe his opinion in this matter is relevant. He either lied or was duped back in 2002 so therefore his reputation is forever destroyed. And don't forget he's going on MTP, which for the past 6 weeks has been nothing but an arm of the RNC.

5. The wisest move would be to stay the hell out of it.
But he hasn't made a wise choice in ten years.

7. How can I forget something that hasn't happened?
By the way, Powell is a war criminal.

9. After Colon goes to testify on behalf of Senator Steven sin Alaska
Edited on Fri Oct-17-08 07:43 AM by hlthe2b
in his corruption trial, claiming Stevens to be of "sterling character"... and "a trusted individual whose word you could rely on..."


Somehow, ole Colon's endorsement doesn't sound so meaningful anymore...:eyes:
