The Mad Rants of an Unconventional Soccer Mom

Colin Powell has just endorsed Barack. It was a well thought out, moving and articulate endorsement. His slap down of McBush was amazing; just the right amount of respect and disdain. I think this will be absolutely devastating for McBush. A Republican crossover with the popularity and credibility (deserved or not) of Powell completely destroys his closing argument against Barack that he is unsafe and un-American…especially among independents and veterans. It will be interesting to see the impact of this over the next couple of news cycles.



I’m not really a fan of Powell after his performance at the UN, but I have to give him much credit for endorsing, as surely it would have been easier to just sit this one out. He has now placed himself in the crossfire of people running the most vitriolic campaign in decades, who will instantly accuse Powell of endorsing merely because both he and Barack are black. I’m sure he just went from revered general to a "colored guy" endorsing another "n----r" in 60 seconds.
