Obama and the media are being gamed. If Powell endorses anyone it will be his close friend John McCain to which he has contributed money this election cycle. Don't be surprised if he is stepping forward to give his friend a boost in the polls. Powell regardless of where we differ from him his not disloyal and understands more than most that race does not transcend common decency and values.

Lets hope so. Powell’s endorsement will help a lot. He will be villified and excoriated, and treated almost as bad as Joe the Plumber.

I hope you’re right. I’m going to projectile vomit if he endorses Obama.

I know more than a few people who have worked very close to Powell over the last 15 years- not a one has a single nice word to say about the man.

I wouldn't bet either way on the endorsement.

Powell will endorse Obama. Everything is based on race for the black voting bloc.

I bet he punts and says both are fine. Which, I guess would be an endorsement for Obama.

But it would be interesting if he came flat out in support of McCain.

“Powell regardless of where we differ from him his not disloyal”

Yes... buy loyal to who? His party, his country, or his race?

I’m not the biggest fan of CP. But. Until the words come out of his mouth, I’m going to take him at his word. The rest is speculation...

This morning on DNCTV(msnbc) they were just gushing like kids on Christmas Eve, talking about how Colin Powell will be on Meet The Press, and could endorse Hussein.

I expect Powell WILL endorse Hussein, because Powell is black. This is a safe assumption, given how blacks are voting this year. The endorsement won’t matter anyway. It will just give the Hussein loving media another reason to make noise for Hussein for a news cycle.

Really, I don’t know why Hussein would want Powell’s endorsement. I recall Powell going to the UN before the war, and telling everyone of WMDs in Iraq.

Of course Powell is a media darling, and has gotten a pass for all of that. His endorsement of Hussein will be front page news, and heralded as all the reason anyone will need to vote for Hussein.

After all of that happens, I will have one question. Why would Colin Powell endorse someone for president that has NO experience or accomplishment at all to be president?

If he does the MSM will find out he doesn’t even have a license to be a General or Secretary Of State.

Well, he testified as a character witness for Ted Stevens this week. I’m not sure he throws McCain under the bus. It would be amusing if he endorsed McCain. I guess Obama would have to send out his minions to trash Powell.

I think Powell plays it safe, and says something like ‘they’re both fine men and America would be safe with either’.

Is Powell about to get off the fence?
(Powell to Endorse McCain on Meet the Press)

If Powell does endorse McCain on national (heck, international
these days) TV, I hope he explains why Obama, although he’s made
a historic bid for The White House...he’s just not the right man
for the job.
And that color has NOTHING to do with that. Obama is just not the
right human being for the job.

Why are Republican sounrces then saying he’s going to endorse Obama? If he does...it won’t be good...at all...that’s all we’ll read about for a week before the elections. Why would someone do that to a friend of his? What has Obama promised him?
