I am for Obama anyway, but would love Powell to endorse him. I believe Powell is conservative. You can’t get anymore conservative than he is. He’s a decent American, and if he does endorse Obama it will carry lots of weight with lots of people. And I welcome it. I welcome Powell with open arms.

Obama 08!!!!!!!!!

Put me on record as being one of those old fashioned christianist fuddy-duddies that think that it SHOULD bother you.

LOL…Machine, I do that with a Priest, Nun and a few other lay people from my church. Well in the rectory. Nickel, Dime, Quarter. We have a great time. That doesn’t bother me a bit.

I never had to wonder how conservative Powell wasn’t after reading his autobiography.

Where he happily describes being on the board of his Episcopalian church — and the board members playing poker for money in the basement.

Church work.

Don…To be honest Powell was never a “conservative”. Republican yes. He’s for Gun-Control, he believes in Affirmative Action, Pro-Choice, you know, the momder day Republican Party.

If this had been maybe 10 years ago, a Powell endorsment would have been huge. But I don’t think he has that type of pull anymore. You gotta remember, people on the left, and some on the right are still a bit angry with him, for going to the UN and for a lack of better words, telling stories, so we could get the UN to allow us to bomb Iraq.

I think this would be a bigger media storm, than a real story for the folks.

If Powell endorses Obama one must wonder how much of a conservative he ever was. Regardless of whether he (or anyone else) is dissatisfied with the Republicans, anyone who truly is ideologically to the right or even the center could ever vote for a socialist like Obama.
