It’s interesting that he waited until two weeks before the election to endorse Barry. The opportunist Powell always has his finger in the wind, and Barry’s favorable poll positions no doubt helped Powell to go public with this endorsement. You have to wonder if he would ever have stuck his neck out and endorsed Barry if it didn’t appear that Barry had a chance to win the election (the answer is “no”).
Win or lose for McCain, I sincerely hope that no Republican ever again promotes or supports Powell in any way, shape or form.
