Powell just handed the election to McCain If Powell can turn around 180 degrees from his lifelong political views to vote for someone with his skin color, then lot of democrat whites are going to cross the line and vote for a guy (and America’s sweetheart girl) with their same skin color. What goes around comes around. It is so sad to see Powell switching positions. How long will it take for him to stab Obama in the back sooner….

If Powell can turn around 180 degrees from his lifelong political views..."

I guess where we might disagree is on what those lifelong political views are. There may be a racial component to what he did, but I've never been comfortable with him as a conservative. I think the best evidence of his true leftism is in his remark about not wanting two additional conservatives on the SCOTUS. I think Colin Powell would have endorsed Joe Biden were he on the top of the Ticket. That said, I hope you're right about him handing the election to McCain, but I believe (naively perhaps) that American whites are the least racially motivated voters in the country.
