David Gergen categorized Powell’s announcement as “the most important endorsement of the campaign so far.”

I think that Castro’s 2 endorsements carry more weight. I actually respect him more - you know what he’s all about right off the top.

Well, I have to go with El Rushbo on this one...

I don't believe for one second that Powell would have endorsed a white liberal with Obama's government resume.

Yes, I said it.

And I think that a lot of Americans know it too.

Who else has endorsed That One? Let's see

Ghaddafi
Putin
Castro
Chavez
Castro, again
Powell

Hard to say which is most important.

You’re right. And an endorsement two weeks from election day is hardly a ringing sign of support. Sounds like Powell is hedging his bets, probably looking for an ambassadorship in a nice cushy spot like London or Canberra.
