October 25, 201213 yr Author This isn't anywhere near as important as the Hugo Chavez endorsement. :lol: :lol:
October 25, 201213 yr Author I doubt if endorsements make anyone change their vote but when added to other factors they can be a boost. This one is certainly a boost to Obama. Agreed.
October 25, 201213 yr Author Yea no huge surprise here. He did endorse Obama in 2008. I think it speaks volumes as to whether we should believe in Obama or not IMO. Would Powell publicly endorse someone he didn't see fit to run the country? I don't think he would.
October 25, 201213 yr I believe you nay be thinking of his endorsement in the last election. That's what I meant. People of Powell's stature endorse candidates running for the same office twice? I guess I just assumed that the endorsement still stood.
October 25, 201213 yr That's what I meant. People of Powell's stature endorse candidates running for the same office twice? I guess I just assumed that the endorsement still stood. Let's see Obama holds a 93% to 7% advantage in the African American community and Colin Powell endorses Obama. I'm shocked!
October 25, 201213 yr Author Let's see Obama holds a 93% to 7% advantage in the African American community and Colin Powell endorses Obama. I'm shocked! Don't be ridiculous. You have shown enough political acumen to recognize the significance of a former Bush staffer jumping party lines twice in the last two elections. Should I only pay attention to you when you talk basketball now?
October 25, 201213 yr Author That's what I meant. People of Powell's stature endorse candidates running for the same office twice? I guess I just assumed that the endorsement still stood. With two different republican candidates one would think that Powell would have at least endorsed one of them.
October 25, 201213 yr I think it speaks volumes as to whether we should believe in Obama or not IMO. Would Powell publicly endorse someone he didn't see fit to run the country? I don't think he would. Why should his opinion be regarded more so than anyone else? Would Condy Rice endorse someone she didn't see fit to run the country? I don't think she would.
October 25, 201213 yr Author Why should his opinion be regarded more so than anyone else? Would Condy Rice endorse someone she didn't see fit to run the country? I don't think she would. Would Condy Rice jump party lines and give an endorsement? I don't think she would.
October 25, 201213 yr Don't be ridiculous. You have shown enough political acumen to recognize the significance of a former Bush staffer jumping party lines twice in the last two elections. Should I only pay attention to you when you talk basketball now? He can't jump on the Obama ship again he was already on it. Plus, he saw how people treated poor Stacy Dash and wanted no part of it (Once again my big grin button isn't working).
October 25, 201213 yr Why should his opinion be regarded more so than anyone else? Would Condy Rice endorse someone she didn't see fit to run the country? I don't think she would. It's doesn't, Colin Powell is about as well known these days as Milli Vanilli
October 25, 201213 yr It's doesn't, Colin Powell is about as well known these days as Milli Vanilli And to me that is the tragedy of American Politics these days. Quality people are sitting out of the circus on either side of the aisle. All we are left with are the ones who run now.
October 25, 201213 yr Would Condy Rice jump party lines and give an endorsement? I don't think she would. She still likes the Bush's. I think General Powell is still upset about being the messenger to UN on WMDs. "Optimism is a force multiplier." - Colin Powell
October 25, 201213 yr Author She still likes the Bush's. I think General Powell is still upset about being the messenger to UN on WMDs. "Optimism is a force multiplier." - Colin Powell The Bushes aren't running and Powell still claims republican. If anything Mitt Romney has distanced himself from the Bush regime as well. Seems as though he and Colin Powell would get along swimmingly. Isn't Mitt more of a moderate republican as well?
October 25, 201213 yr Author And to me that is the tragedy of American Politics these days. Quality people are sitting out of the circus on either side of the aisle. All we are left with are the ones who run now. Because they know they will get blamed for every little thing that goes wrong and that it's going to take time to fix the US.
