Hey, if Palin didn't win them over with all of her rockstar-like awesomeness, nothing is going to do it.I was counting on the support of CBF, Nbadan, boutons, GGA and Joe Chalupa for McCain...now this.
I'm saying both campaigns would have benefited from Powell's endorsement with undecided moderates. He endorses McCain, they can say "See? The former SoS and Chairman JCs says he's inexperienced and not ready." He endorses Obama, and it's much harder for McCain to make that argument with undecided moderates.I see....so what you are saying is that if Powell had endorsed McCain you'd have voted for him.
Got it
forbrains.
This isn't hard, whottt.
Very good statement. His comments about the Muslim soldier being buried at Arlington National Cemetary were very moving, and gets to the heart of how the GOP wants to divide this country into sections for its benefit.
Moderates are the most intelligent of all voters...an endorsement of this nature isn't going to make up their mind.
There are two kinds of undecided voters left: Low-information voters swayed by lowest common denominator arguments, and highly cynical voters su ious of both candidates. You can't argue this is good for McCain, you can only say it's impact is not that great.
Gingrich is smart as . He's also a bit nutty and an unethical piece of , but nobody can deny his brainpower. He can read the tea leaves, unlike you.
Well stated endorsement. Although it probably lost most of its luster for being rumored for so long. The shock value or even the newsworthy value is now much lower.
rigth, having a key memer of the Bush Admin endorse Obama is going to totally legitimize 4 more years of W talking point...
Now all you need is the Rummy and Cheney endorsements and you'll have this locked up
You know the rules around here (and you just broke one), the adults discuss, then the children can chime in.
(Standby, someone will PM you when it's okay to chime in.)
I think you're right that it's not a major surprise, because he could've endorsed McCain a long time ago, but I think they wanted it timed for the last two weeks of the election.
You hope...
The problem is that you're just not very good at this...
I don't think Obama needs hope at this point. That's more for your boy.
That's pretty lame, even if you actually were a moderator.
(Don't bother to standy for a PM confirmation that your are not a moderator, because no one gives a crap)
Lamebot.
Sure...that's why you're touting a meaningless endorsement by a lameduck as if it's a huge deal.
I'll say that Powell undermined his own credibility the second he said Palin's not ready...when she's got more experience in Government than Obama does.
Only totally in the tank Obama supporters actually buy that line of .
The bias there fools absolutely no one...
LOL! He talked down Palin!!!... He must be the antichrist!!!
Touting it? I didn't start this thread. Am I not allowed to comment? It's called an enthusiasm gap. Take a look at the respective benches during the waning moments of Game Six between the Celtics and the Lakers. Which bench was more animated and lively?
Undecideds with a mild conservative bent. McCain was probably counting on those. They were really his only hope, if he got them all.
I suspect we'll be seeing another Republican endorsement for Obama from Senator Chuck Hagel soon.
Lugar endorsed him.
As I stated earlier, I don't believe anyone was waiting around with baited breath to decide who to vote for based on who Colin Powell endorsed.
The undecided are basically independent thinkers, so they aren't going to base their decision on who comes along and endorses one of the candidates (especially if no new arguments come with the endorsement), more so they are looking for clarification on where the candidates stand on the issues; to wit: Obama being exposed by Joe the plumber as a being a socialist.
??????? So progressive taxation is socialism? Joe the Plumber carries more weight with voters than Colin Powell?
