At this point, Powell is a friggin nobody. His only trading factor now is that he happens to be black - and Obama has plenty of those endorsements to go round. He lost any credibility he ever had as a Republican the minute he ceded his endorsement to pure racism.
Gimmick to make himself relevant.
The obamamedia will fret over and over about whether Powell will go for obama or not.
This will go on until early November when Powell will come out with his endorsement of obama.
Juan McCain was exactly the type of moderate reach across the aisle squish that RINO's like Powell said we should nominate.
