Who is Mike Murphy?
Powell fragged McCain this morning. I guess Powell did learn some of the lessons of Vietnam.
Who here is really surprised about Powell’s endorsement of The One? I half expected it.
ooh... we’re all shaking over another RINO endorsement. Earth-shatterrrrring, I’m sure!
One more guy who’s worried about not being included in DC cocktail parties.
Probably benefit than continually posting here and preaching to the choir
A black guy endorses another black guy. Who cares?
In politics, one always seeks endorsements. Usually that applies to the folks who ran 3rd, etc. and virtually never someone who never ran for office, notwithstanding a nice resume of military service. That assumes they have, to use a political term “coat tails”. Powell will deliver, at best, the black vote. Wow, that is delivery. Folks, relax, the media will have their tingly feeling up their legs but Powell cannot deliver, politically speaking, the mail.
Interesting idea. I tried the same thing in Wikipedia. They just roll right over you there. How long do your posts last in the time blog before they’re deleted?

“CIAs Loss of Top Spies Catastrophic, Says Agency Veteran”
What is he going to do, get more of the Afro-American
population to vote for Obama?
Sure...Hell get Thomas Sowell to vote Democrat.
“As a key reason, Powell said: “I would have difficulty with two more conservative appointments to the Supreme Court, but that's what we'd be looking at in a McCain administration.”
I guess he does not like Clarence Thomas much.
Must have been overjoyed at Kelo Vs New London.
Who needs this MEGA RHINO?
He just shot himself in the foot with Conservatives and
relegated to spend the rest of his days with the
back biting liberals.
...cause when I’m deciding what I think is best for myself, my family, my community, and America...I base it on what Powell thinks (eyes rolling)
Convince the rank and file it is useless-- "resistance is futile", and everyone against "The One" will just roll over and give up.
Well, I for one am NOT buying all this positive crap for Obama, and all the negative for McCain. This isn't over yet, and I hope more people will realize it.
This is a strategy the dems have used for the last four elections, maybe more, and it MUST be ignored and fought!
If the Mccain campaign were smart, they would say they understood Powell’s endorsement of Obama because Powell was a trailblazer himself in terms of breaking down racial barriers. However, his reasoning leaves a lot to be desired given Obama’s lack of experience and achievement.
He was obviuosly fired (stepped down) from the McCain campaign. That must be when McCain’s campaign started doing well.

Michael Ellis “Mike” Murphy (born 1962) is a Republican political consultant. He has advised such nationally prominent Republicans as John McCain, Jeb Bush, John Engler, Tommy Thompson, Christie Whitman, Lamar Alexander, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was, until January 2006, an adviser to Mitt Romney, the Governor of Massachusetts and an about-to-become candidate for the Republican presidential nomination for the 2008 presidential election. He stepped down as a result of his role as chief strategist to Governor Romney as well as Senator McCain.
For the 2008 elections, Murphy is serving as a regular commentator on NBC’s Meet the Press and The Today Show. He lives in Los Angeles, California and also works as a writer and producer in the entertainment industry. He is a guest columnist for TIME Magazine.
On September 3, 2008, during a segment on NBC, Murphy was recorded making harsh comments about Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin (despite having praised Palin in other appearances), unaware that his microphone was still live.
General Powell, I really respected you during DESERT STORM I but I'm glad you're out of the saddle now and I don't respect your actions at all.
Unfortunately for you, this endorsement will be your legacy.
How can you be against the war, and accept the endorsement of one of the men responsible for it?
As WFB used to say “a paradoxically incongruency”.
Also an indication that Obama is running out of steam...too bad he hasn't run out of money, but Michelle is working on it with Room Service at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. (See Iranian Caviar and Dom Perignon Champaign). I bet they're buying expensive new clothes each and every day for the campaign. And they criticized McCain's shoes.
I don’t trust anyone who is employed by MSNBC. Even Pat Buchanan, who used to be okay.
This guy is now a Kool-aid drinker, obviously.
No one gives a sh*t about powell’s RINO endorsement.
McCain blows away Obama beyond the point of repair in terms of qualifications.
How...progressive, of Mr. Powell.
Cheers!
