Powell is merely spouting the talking points that were spoon-fed to him by David Axelrod.
Sad that his public career has come to this, that he could slander McCain and so many others, but that’s what it is.
Colin Powell has proved that, in the end, for him skin color trumps all.
Sad indeed:
Odinga — Obama — Powell

Perfect post, bears repeating.
Actually, I believe that it is even more crass than that. Powell -- whose income is dependent upon his influence -- has just cast his lot with the polls.
This is called "trying to be on the winning side" -- an unprincipled cop-out, by an unprincipled lout.
