i was just chatting with my dad the other day, about why it is taking so long for colin powell to endorse obama.
the wait was worth it though:
“He has both style and substance,” Mr. Powell said, speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” He added, “Obama has displayed a steadiness; showed intellectual vigor. He has a definitive way of doing business that will do us well.”
“I think that Senator Obama brings a fresh set of eyes, fresh set of ideas to the table. I think that Senator McCain, as gifted as he is, is essentially going to execute the Republican agenda, the orthodoxy of the Republican agenda with a new face and a maverick approach to it, and he’d be quite good at it, but i think we need more than that.”
Mr. Powell told the reporters outside the studio that he still considers himself a Republican, despite his decision to vote for Mr. Obama.

Yea, right. Like the color of his skin has nothing to do with it.
Tell the entire story please. Powell also said he will not campaign for obama. He merely said he will get his vote.
Hold on to your wallets boys and girls. We're screwed in 08.
