It is rumored that Colin Powell might endorse Barack Obama. Will you still feel the same way about Colin Powell if he does?

Answered NO. plese elaborate.
Well now that it is over....
I watched him closely... He was extremely nervous, and I realized that the man knew he was about to do something that he did not believe in.
I listen to his critique of both Obaba and McCain, and I listened to him struggle with words to apologize for his choice.
Powell went on and on in an eloquent spasm on Obaba, saying little about McCain, other than their long standing friendship. I believe Powell, as best he could, was asking McCain to forgive him.
I found it extremely interesting that Powel said Obaba called him several times – seeking his counsel… and McCain did not…
Did I think Powell, who has been a Republican since dirt, would change now? No… I felt he was a person of strength and character. However, I do understand why he gave his support to Obaba on national television. He had to.
To do less would have labeled him and Uncle Tom….
So much for honor, loyalty and friendship…. -

I just read that a spokesperson for Powell has said there is no truth that Colin Powell has endorsed Barack Obama or anyone else. He won't be making an announcement until after both conventions are over.

I guess you're REALLY going to love some of my other comments to you....
seriously though, you need to step back and look at how you come across... 90% (forgive the pun) of your comments are accusing others of being racist, and all of them are people who don't support Barry...
might want to try to look at that as a third party.. if you manage to do so you'll be amazed at how much of an a$$hat you seem to be... -
raves +2 Aug 18, 2008 03:05AM GMTThat's fair enough, and if that's the way it is, i'll support you 100% in it, but i saw some comments, even mine that were not racially based and you whipped the racist accusation right on out there like a practiced maneuver..
in fact my comment you called racist, is stereotypical, but not racist in any way..... like i said, read some of the things you've written with a "3rd party perspective" and you'll see what i'm talking about...
Answered NO. plese elaborate.
It's obvious that color is behind his decision. If this happens - all respect for Mr. Powell is history. People should ALWAYS vote for the person and what they stand for.....NEVER color.
