lol. Well if you believe his horse manure, his final decision on whom he’s going to vote for POTUS, the most important political position in the world, was based upon his feeling that McCain ran too many negative ads.
LOL. What an a$$
It is is amazing he is trying to spin that crap! Everyone knows what he meant. And even if that is wrong, Powell certainly knew this endorsement would be taken that way as a racial act.
Negative ads?
Well now, I had understood that McCain did not want to hit Obama on Rev wright because of Powel, well the gloves should really come off.
Unfortunately McCain has put a lot into the idea of reaching across the aisle and getting along with, working with the opposition. This sort of paints him into a corner because you can’t win a campaign by agreeing with your opponent...”yeah, you would be a great leader” and when you simply disagree, it appears as “negative” relative to the original stance of “reaching across.” Those who loved him for his “reaching” now turn against him even if he simply fails to reach or in any way runs what would, for others, be a NORMAL campaign. This is a fundamental flaw of the working well with the other side strategy.
