1. He thought and pondered about it over time and wasn't directed by someone else to do it

6. LOL. True
I got the impression that was a slick way to call it about race - "it's not a POLITICAL decision, it's a PERSONAL decision" ......he said it like 5 times.

5. Powell is doing it because it makes him look good
He milked it for all that it was worth, let people speculate and keep himself the focus of a little bit of attention and went with the obvious popular choice, one that was evident months ago. Colin likes being popular, this is a popular choice and he did all he could to milk it until the last minute when long past the time Obama took firm control of the race.

7. The Kool-Aid has worn off.
He has broken ranks.

He has gone off the reservation.

He no longer toes the line.

He is a traitor.

He was never truly a "real" American.

He should be investigated.

And he is Black.
