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.
This will be great news for Obama.

Powell is a Muslim... probably a BLT too...
muslim-blt....an oxymoron?
Not since Obama... apparently.
does colin powell have terrorist ties?
Colin Ahmedinejad Powell
Colin "Dirty ###### Islamic Fascist" Powell.
If he endorses Obama, whottt is going to go all whottt on Powell
Just another elitist Washington-insider commie.
Sorry, I don't believe it. Powell is a left of center, but not that liberal. His policies are far closer to McCains than Obama's.
I just don' see that happening.
That's reserved for you lib s.
WOAH WOAH WOAH
so you call people house ######s?
And yes, I have no self control.
No, it's the liberals who call people ######s.
I concur but I also feel that if he endorses anyone it would be Obama and not McCain.
whottt in 2005:
Here what I graded out to be:
Me:
Realist
Realists…
Are guided more by practical considerations than ideological vision
Believe US power is crucial to successful diplomacy - and vice versa
Don't want US policy options unduly limited by world opinion or ethical considerations
Believe strong alliances are important to US interests
Weigh the political costs of foreign action
Believe foreign intervention must be dictated by compelling national interest
Historical realist: President Dwight D. Eisenhower
Modern realist: Secretary of State Colin Powell
To tell the truth I am little disappointed in my results as I don't like either of those two realists very much when it comes to foreign policy...I expected a much more conservative grade. But if it was a total political grade I'd be in the middle IMO.
It is kind of cool I graded out with two generals though...
I've never been a big fan of Powells...not since I found out he was the primary architect behind the Persian Gulf strategy that lead to several hundred thousands of Shias and Kurds being exterminated by Saddam after we asked them to rise up against him.
I honestly don't have a clue who he will endorse. Although I feel much the same way about him that I do about McCain in that I don't get where he is coming from often...so it won't suprise me if he endorses McCain.
Actually that whole confusing thing is a problem I have with a great many military guys that enter politics...there haven't been many that were my first choice...including McCain.
I think Schwartzkopf is probably my favorite...although I do like the guy that took over the Katrina operation...
"Don't get stuck on stupid" I guarantee you that guy is a Republican.
I've always been a fan of Colin Powell's.
He's a good man...but I don't agree with a lot of his foreign policy ideas.
That said...the ones I don't agree with him on tend to be the same ones I don't agree with McCain on.
I am in favor of torturing the living out of guilty terrorists(as in enemy combatants that refuse to makr themselves as such)...I'm then in favor of feeding them to pigs and videotaping it.
Powell and McCain both disagree with me on this.
People involved with the military or having experience in that area are AGAINST torture? Who would have thought...
The difference is whottt is a sociopath.
I'd like a source for this other than HuffPo...
On the other hand, why hasn't he endorsed McCain yet? The Reagans hated McCain's guts, and yet Nancy offered up a tepid "Well, he's the Republican nominee, so I guess I have to endorse him.." statement of support.
whottt would never do that.
Powell's endorsement isn't going to carry the weight it might have, say 6 years ago before the whole Iraq made up intel lying to the UN thing. Testifying as a character witness for that absolute corrupt SLIME Ted Stevens isn't helping his endorsement weight, either.
