This would certainly lead to a 3rd Party candidate.

Who is gonna vote for him?

All the Dems and other affiliates of the Party of Satan will vote for the anti-Christ Obama, and actual conservatives will vote for neither.

there is no clamor for a Powell presidential campaign.

Doh!

I don't think I want any part of a Powell ticket in 2012.

He's not a republican (neither am I, any more, but that's a whole 'nother story) and his conservative values have suffered some...plus he endorsed Obong-bama for the presidency.

I sure as hell wouldn't endorse a democratic ticket over him, if he were the only choice...but, still.

No, thanks.

This isn’t satire? Powell as a presidential candidate would be worse than McCain!

Puhleeze!

(and anyway, why would Powell suddenly decide to do something he refused to do when his ‘numbers’ were much higher than they are now?)

Powell supports Obama and attacks conservatives.

The media thinks he should run as a Republican??

What drugs was he on?
