Colin Powell on MTP this Sunday

And while I've changed my attitude towards Colin Powell considerably (from "eh" to "lying, acquiescent Bush Adminstration toady"), this still will be big.

Bet? :D

in part because of the "experience" arguement.

Hell, if Hagel, who traveled to the Middle East w/ Obama and who is retiring next year, won't completely go over to Obama why would anyone expect Powell to do so?

If this does happen The freepers are ready with the "racist" spin of it's
"just one Black supporting another". yep, I already seen this posted over there.

They are unbelievable

plus be on the "right" side of history. Of course I don't think Powell does anything without Poppy's approval, so this would be interesting if he does endorse Barack.

Let's hope he uses the opportunity to do what's right - endorse Barack!

He may have supported McCain over the other Republicans, but changed his mind since.

IF he endorses, I think it will be Obama.

Indeed, there is a special place in hell for Colin,b/c he was a Vet and allowed himself to be manipulated into lying in to a WAR...BUT I do think his endorsement 15 days out HELPS more than HURTS.
:grouphug:

Will the press move from the boring plumber to "Who's Powell going to endorse?"

I have mixed feelings about Powell. He's just above dirt in my mind, given how he's facilitated (and in the eyes of the lesser-informed, legitimized) the actions of those currently in power.

But at the same time, I'm a pragmatist, and I see the great value that would come from his endorsement. We'd be fools to not want his endorsement; it - along with the bump Obama is going to get from his infomercial - would effectively kill any remaining chance that McCain had.

So this leaves me hoping. I haven't watched much Meet the Press since Russert died, since it's largely turned to crap because of its hosts. But I probably won't be able to resist the temptation this weekend.

Colin gave John 2300 in the 3rd quarter of 2007. He hasn't donated though for the General Election

while George Bush has backed off the radical neoconism a bit, this probably would concern Powell quite a bit.

He'll probably slam Obama on his associations and his inexperience. Remember this guy tried to sell the war to the UN.

in particular Bush. I read somewhere that Colin Powell actually sat down with Bush for about an hour and a half trying to convince him not to invade Iraq. He probably isn't happy about how he was used as a pawn to sell the war.

lost all credibility. I would think he's still a bit pissed about that.

You aren't a republican for all of your adult life and wake up one morning and see the light that often.

More ammo to tie this wretched war and the chimp around mclame's neck. Like an anvil to a drowning man.

:puke:

then I will go back to saying fuck him in a couple of weeks.
