Powell, who served as President Bush's secretary of state, is to appear on NBC's "Meet the Press," prompting some to suggest that he might use that platform to make the announcement.

But in the last few days we have seen a bit of a turn...a turn for the better and my spirits were lifted. And you have to admit that this would be very bad for McCain. It just would.
Actually, I don’t agree. This is “dog bites man”... everyone is expecting the black guy to go with his fellow tribe member.
I’m sure that it must have been a highly coveted and influential slot with only three shows until the election, did he just call them up and ask for it?
However, military men are also members of a “tribe.” And Obama is so off that reservation that, again, it would be the ultimate betrayal...on so many levels.
Kerry lined up tons of military endorsements, even after his post-Nam antics.
Which leads me to another point that should be made... How many people in America don't make up their minds simply because they want to vote for the winner on election day and be part of that scene rather than cast a vote for the loser?
That probably goes a long way in explaining the MSM BS polls and why this point is never talked about. I am certain there is a sizable percentage of “undecideds” who vote in this way. Idiots.
You said:
Stupid statement!!
If he helps win the election, we should all care what he thinks.

So the ends justify the means?
Sounds like a liberal statement.
The leftists would be happy if Ronald McDonald threw in his support for 0bama.
It is not as important as you think.
And by the way, he was a crap Sec of State.
Chet...Powell is not just another MILITARY endorsement and you know it.
I'm sure ACORN already has him registered.
RE: “Im beginning to think that its all coming down anyway, no matter who is in charge. I really am. I have to let go of all of this or I will make myself physically sick. And I dont want to do that.”

Agree! I was just thinking tonight that I have to stop this addiction to election news and hoping McCain wins purely because we cannot have this Marxist taking over. But I don’t want to make myself sick over it and that’s where I’m heading. I need to calm down. OH, and I do think Powell will endorse Obama.
That’s what I mean by betrayal. Apparently, they are good friends...it shows the measure of a man’s character..But again, I will not cast aspersions until Sunday when we actually hear it.
If its just a race thing... ‘Buma loses Nov 4 ....
Take a look at the foundations he and his wife are running. I suspect that his heart is with Barry but he'll do what's best for his interests.
Unfortunately, McCain tips his hand on every strategic move he makes. If he’s not tipping it now I would be worried. It won’t matter to us because we all need to show up on Nov.4 and vote against the ONE.
The US government never goes backwards. If we move any further towards socialism it can’t be undone. We soon will have a majority of citizens that don’t pay any federal income tax. That block is going to vote lock step for more goodies. Entitlements become just that.....entitled toes.
Gotta pray and press your friends and any one that will listen about where we are headed. I send the Cloward Piven Strategy article to everyone I know. I am waiting until at least Fox news does a special on that little diddy!
WSJ had a great article today too.
The leftists would be happy if Ronald McDonald threw in his support for 0bama.
I’m sure ACORN already has him registered.

Funny! I forgot about that. I just pulled that name out of my memory hat. I guess that’s what Acorn does too! LOL
Now assuming he did you'd think this thing would have leaked out.
Since it hasn't I'm of the opinion that no endorsement is forthcoming.
I hope Powell comes out for McCain.
If he states that is it because of Obama’s anti-American pal like Wright, Ayers, Odinga it will be truely devastating.
