Well, he testified as a character witness for Ted Stevens this week.

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

I think Powell plays it safe, and says something like
‘they’re both fine men and America would be safe with either’.
“
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.
True. Mac and Powell served. Obama did, in theory, I guess. Thinking about it apparently is as good as actually doing it. He was ready if his country gave him a call, I guess.
The safe route makes a lot of sense for Powell. He doesn’t dump on McCain while he essentially would be saying Obama’s ok. Both camps get what they want out of him.
But the media wouldn’t know what to do with a Powell advocating for McCain. In the media’s eye, this is all set up for Obama. And, of course, Powell would’ve spoken at the RNC already, no?
I find it interesting that the McCain campaign is acting like they don’t know what’s going on. I bet they do. The One is getting set up. Of course, Powell wouldn’t be that harsh on Obama, but that’s not what Obama needs right now.
It’ll be very interesting to see how quickly the media turns on Powell should he indeed endorse McCain. Got any tax liens, General?
