It is a big deal. there's only 15 days left and this will be in the headlines for probably 3 days taking away 1/5 of the time McCain has to generate some momentum.

No this really isn't a big deal. Who the hell cares who he endorses. Obama already has the black vote so I don't see this changing anything.

Colin Powell does not move the black vote you dummy.

I bet McCain spent a lot of effort trying to secure Powell's endorsement so he probably thinks it a big deal though he won't admit it until after he loses. Of course it doesn't hurt him as much as picking Palin as his running mate.

If McCain loses, not getting Powell's endorsement will not even make the top 20 things that went wrong. As a person who has never in his life voted for a Republican President this meant nothing to me.

It's just one of many things that didn't go his way. It'd be one thing if Powell just said he wanted Obama but the way he pontificated his reason is what makes it so important. He made such a great argument for voting for Obama, at least IMO which I'm sure the McCainites will disagree with just to deflect the truth.

Could have just as easily said some great reasons to vote for McCain and that wouldn't have meant anything either. This is definately not a game changer in any way, shape or form. Powell was put in a bad place here. Either he shuns his party or he shuns his race. He chose right in my opinion.

A lessor man would think that.

Lowering? If you were any lower than me you would be in hell but anyhow... My whole point was this was not an important revelation since it doesn't mean much. Not to mention most people already knew who he was going to support.

I agree. Powell is a snake as far as I'm concerned. He took no responsibility on Meet the Press for the UN debacle or his wholehearted support for Bush. What a TOOL!! Let's hope Obama doesn't actually pick him for Sec. of State or Defense. Blech!

McCain has run a horrible, right wing, atavistic, below the belt, and very STUPID campaign. If he doesn't lose it's only because Obama is black. Erm, ok, half black. Whatever....racism.

The problem is that you seem to minimize everything to skin color. Colin Powell is widely respected in this country regardless of skin color or party affiliation; he is not just some "black leader" that black people would follow.

That's true. Even though I don't agree with you I totally support your right to be wrong

I guess that comes with the environment. Most of my friends and the people I work with or associate with are voting for Obama because of his color. 50% of them have never even voted before in their lives but have all registered to vote this year. Don't fool yourself, race is an important element in this election but not in the way most people think, a negative way. Race is going to help Obama win this election. Registration is beyond record levels and highest increase is with black men followed by black women in most states.

They are voting for their best interests, how is that negative?

 

[Falloutboy]

I dunno, I think its a big deal. I've always thought powell was a pretty respectable guy, and hell I was swaying mcain (don't like the man but didn't care for obama ether) but this makes me take a second look at it.

Great video & points out some of the major faults of the Republican party recently.

Whites have been voting for whites since the beginning of the nation. So did whites vote for whites just because they were white? Or how about just 50% of them? Maybe its because in the last 35-40 years we have not had a candidate, regardless of race, that has been able to captivate or inspire people to believe in hope like Obama has. They say folks are born with "it". We still don't fully understand what "it" is but it appears Obama has "it".

 

[WHipLAsh13]

I just don't see "it" in Obama. Clinton had an "it" factor and so did JFK. Just don't see it in Obama.

 

[AlienCraft]

I had hoped McCain would ask Colin Powell to be VP. THAT would have beena full on winner imho.
This , however, is big.

 

[seemingly random]

powell praised obama's intellectual curiosity. I see now why repugs don't like him.

"Intelligence is not a prerequisite for those who govern" - they've voted this sentiment again and again.

Yes, quite confusing. I assume powell voted for bush the first time but don't know about the second. He had lots of warning of problems with bush and the backstabbing rice.

"Hilarious. Powell endorses Barack Hussein Obama II but "not because he's black".? Right. I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. I'm just wondering if Soetoro's, now known as Obama, first Presidential act will be to pardon OJ or to pardon all the people participating in voter fraud."

"My God, obama's entire past, present and future is filled with dirt, disgrace and deceipt. obama is everything the U.S. DOES NOT STAND FOR and then this traitor comes on? t.v. and endorses this kind of scum? If I didn't see/hear it, I would never believe this of what I thought was a true, dignified American - Colin Powell, you just dropped to th bottom of the barrel for us - you're a traitor and racist."

-7
"BLACKS like Rev. AL, JESSE, The? MUSLIM NATION are all laughing at White America for supporting Obama. Wait till we have to make "reprartions" for slavery (a.k.a laziness)."

lulz indeed
