I really wish he would! I believe Bush has done a lot of damage to the party - he's done a lot of good for the country, but he's been a disappointment to me in the last 4 years as president. I'm not quite sure what to think of him, but overall, I do not have a favorable opinion of him or his father. They are liberals in conservative clothing, I think.
But, if he would PLEASE endorse Obama - it would do a lot to redeem himself in my eyes. It would KILL the liberals!!!
The main thing that Bush has been good on has been judges. I shudder to think where the court would be had Gore been the one to replace Rehnquist and O’Connor.
The main thing I fear at this point is that the media is going to hype powell’s comments like crazy in a positive light every hour, on the hour for the next few days. We’ve had good momentum after McCain’s performance this week, and now the media are panicking seeing their man going downhill in the polls, and they’re going to use this as their pro-obama story of the week.
Damn sad that so many hold this man’s opinion so highly. I pray that voters see this as Powell voting based on his own race.
