A recent interview of Colin Powell on ABC reminded us that this man could play a major role in deciding the next president. Think about it: if McCain could get this "Republican" onto his ticket, it might tip the balance. Fortunately for the Democrats, he spoke more of admiration of-- and agreement with-- Obama.
Sure, Powell became a dupe for the Bush administration with his UN speech, which was the tipping point for many people-- including us-- to assume that there were some form of chemical weapons in Iraq. We never found the "Good Soldier" routine, when applied to politics, particularly noble anyway. We say, however, that the man has served his penance and should be listened to. It comes down to a factor called trust, something that we have in Obama-- and McCain, for that matter, although we don't agree with his stances on conservative issues that even he can barely feign support for.
Hillary? What? Sorry, can't hear you over the sniper fire.
