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’.

I was a bit suprised to see that...buried in the inside pages.

That wouldn’t shock me.
But...

It could be that Gen. Powell will go the same direction as Col.
Bud Day, one of McCain’s cell-mates in North Vietnam.
Day wasn’t totally complimentary of McCain in the book “American
Patriot”...critical enough that I was shocked to see him on stage
with McCain during the Iowa primaries. And I saw Day in the audience
(wearing his Medal of Honor) during McCain’s wrap-up speech at the
Republican Convention.

Maybe Powell is going to show a “brothers in arms” approach with
McCain on Sunday.
