In Support Of...

Colin Powell endorsed Senator Obama today.

from the Yahoo news article:
"And I come to the conclusion that because of his ability to inspire, because of the inclusive nature of his campaign, because he is reaching our all across America, because of who he is and his rhetorical abilities - and you have to take that into account - as well as his subtance - he has both style and substance, he has met the standard of being a successful president, being an exceptional president."

Mr. Powell also said that he began having misgivings about Senator McCain when he chose Governor Palin as his running mate, noting that the decision of naming her "raised some question" in his mind as to the judgment that Senator McCain made.

The first part of Mr. Powell's endorsement is quite similar to what I wrote last night as to why I might cast a vote for Senator Obama. The second part hits precisely why I have stated I am unable to vote for Senator McCain.

I like and respect Colin Powell. I trust his judgment. His endorsement is a strong one, in my opinion.

I love Colin Powell. His support of O eases my mind (a little) and says to me that an inexperienced leftist with a shady past and disgusting friends can't be all bad.

I also like General Swartzkoff and I'm thankful he didn't jump ship on the Republicans.
