To that end, Powell could be exactly the presidential candidate Republicans need.

That's what the "experts" said about McCain, and Powell still voted for Obama.

Ummm I wouldn’t vote for Powell if it meant keeping Obama out of the White House another 4 years. Powell is death by 1000 paper cuts. Obama will ruin the country and we’ll rebuild it from the ground up.

He'd never get the GOP nomination, after endorsing 0bama in 08.

Heck even Romney would be better than Powell...which ain’t saying much.

Hell NO!

How can he claim he wants to run against a person in the OTHER PARTY that HE VOTED FOR as a "Republican"!

He should officially change his party affiliation to match his beliefs and run against Obama as Democrat.

Hey, interesting thought, Powell would actually have to WORK and EXPLAIN his positions to public. Then he’d have to EXPLAIN his backing of Obama in 2008.

At this point, the alarm bell rings and people wake up from the nightmare.

Ha ha ha! The Left’s favorite ‘next generation’ Republican pundit endorsing the Left’s favorite last generation Republican non-candidate.
