Colin Powell Is Ready To Endorse ...

When Colin Powell turns off his TV after the final presidential debate, he will have learned everything he is going to learn about the candidates vying to succeed his former boss, George W. Bush.

Powell has made it clear that he has been thinking about an endorsement for a long time but wanted to hear more from the candidates before making his choice.

It now seems beyond doubt that Colin Powell will endorse Barack Obama and thereby hammer the final nail in the coffin of the Republican campaign to hold onto the White House.

The recent ugliness of the McCain-Palin rally audiences cannot be lost on Colin Powell. And Powell is not one to ignore a 14 point lead in a New York Times poll. But most important for Powell and the press will be his explicit rejection of the Bush-McCain approach to Iraq, Iran and the rest of the world.

Powell's endorsement will be perfectly timed to dominate a news cycle or two.

It will give Obama the one thing he still needs more of, credibility as Commander-In-Chief.

And Sarah Palin's speechwriters will be hard pressed to come up with a condescending quip about it.

A small part of a clip on Yahoo news. If it's a lie, they told it.

"Powell said he was cognizant of the racial aspect of his endorsement, but said that was not the dominant factor in his decision."

Now I gotta ask, should his race not only not have been a "dominant factor", but actually not a factor at all?????? Wonder how it would go over if someone said "Obama's race is not the dominant reason I'm not voting for him."

C'mon Ed,

How do you define senility. Surely not by age. Let's not forget that Buckely Jr. also switched to Obama.

Another senile ? Wink

I have neither the desire, nor time to watch all of your videos, and read all of your cartoon postings. I'm just asking a question here. Should race be a factor on who someone votes for? If you feel that by asking that question I'm this or that, then so be it. If you think race should be a factor, then so be that as well. I, myself do not think it should. However, in my prior post I didn't state my opinion on the matter. I simple asked a question. I guess just having an opinion you don't like is more than enough required for your "come backs" now. Now it seems just asking a question you don't like will do the trick.

"MORE RED STATE LOGIC"

So I guess my whole State is wrong by me asking an opinion question. My state can at least figure out how to work a voting booth.

Don't get all 'uptight and funny' now BM.
I was only 'enhancing' your post.

I wasn't offering any personal opinion or asking
any questions in that post.
But I will now.

You seem concerned that Powell stated his race position as he did.

Just why does that concern you?

It should concern anyone that someone would allow race to be a factor at all in who they vote for.

By the way, thanks for the offer, but my post did't need "enhancing".

You were not offering an opinion in that post????????????????? I guess calling my question "Red State Logic" is not an opinion?

Undecided  Is this the question that you keep harping about?

< " Now I gotta ask, should his race not only not have been a "dominant factor", but actually not a factor at all??????

Wonder how it would go over if someone said "Obama's race is not the dominant reason I'm not voting " >

If it is, then get rid of the triple and double negatives and rephrase it so that 'normal' folks can understand it.

Wink  Maybe  then  you will get an answer from me and/or others. 

It doesn't help your questioning position either by calling me "bugboy". (personal attack & flaming)

Tongue out  Keep that up and I may not answer you at all!.
