WOW!

Might be the most influential endorsement of either in the entire season.

I'm not surprised.

The guy is one of the biggest reasons we had to deal with Saddam again in 2003 when we should have deposed him in 91. Brilliant call, General.

But anyway, endorsements only work as a reinforcement of a qualified candidate. Obama is fatally flawed, something that is becoming more apparent as the campaign wears on. Powell has always been one for platitudes, so he'll fit in very nicely.

Powell wants affirmative action, so I guess race trumps everything -- including principle and sanity. :ohno:

Let's just say he wasn't Mr. Popularity in the Bush administration, so it was only fitting that Powell became the front guy for that amusing dog and pony show at the UN before the second Iraq war.

It was a toss-up between he and Richard Armitage. :thumbsup:

Being disliked by the Bush Admin. gives a person a running start at being a damn decent human being.

Colin Powell will always have my respect for serving his country and for being an honorable man.

That he's a left of center Republican tells me he finds something lacking in the Democrat Party.

That he would support an anti-war candidate is not surprising. What votes could his endorsement earn Obama?

Joe Leiberman supporting McCain is more of a deal since he could swing a lot of the Jewish Democrat vote McCains way.

Not to hijack the thread, but Lieberman will be a featured speaker at the Republican convention.

What would you think of Lieberman as VP?

Lieberman is a dishonest little weasel he will be right at home in the Republican party. I hope he gets the VP nod. He does not have as much dirty laundry as Phil Grammn had but hes got plenty. John Mc can really pick em but he loves lobbyist so it figures.

Every Jewish Democrat I know has hated Lieberman for quite a while now.

Perhaps if "JoeContrarian" archivist KINGBILL had no life, he could pull up a long list of posts from MarkL (aka JoeC) from past few years where Mark slobbered over how much integrity General Powell has.

And how those who rebuked his Congressional testimony about Iraq in February 2003 were nothing but racist loons.

Stick with our friendly PoliticoPub long enough and you'll read opinions from "JoeC" that utterly contradict opinions he posted as recently as a few months previous, not to mention the disparity between his posts of a couple years ago and today.

Speaking from a family of Jewish Democrats, that's been our experience as well.

I would be surprised if Powell endorsed either candidate.
