The height of Powell's popularity was in 1996. He did not run because he did not want a rectal exam of his entire life. His wife did not want him to run. He would go through the same rectal exam if he ran as a VP. He simply will not do that. If you heard him today on Tony Snow, it wasn't an in your face comment, but he definitely blamed the Clintons for much of our current foreign policy problems. He has little respect for Hillary so how could he possible run with her?

The press isn't even going to investigate or report on Bubbette!'s past,so why would they do it to her running mate? Besides,Powell is a "black hero",and is untouchable,. Nobody can question him without being called a racist.
