Colin Powell

Who would have guessed that Colin Powell would have endorsed Barack Obama publicly. One of the most conservative republicans around going with the democrats. People say that race has had an effect on his decision, but i think that is not the reason for his endorsement. If he was merely voting for Obama becuase of his race there would have been no need for a public endorsement. He must obvisously feel better with Obama running the country then McCain, even though they happen to be close friends. This endorsement may help Obama win some electoral votes from some of the more conservative states. They might be thinking that a conservative republican like him endorsing a liberal democrat must mean that he ios the better candidate. this could be helpful in soldifiying some of the states leaning democrat. TO conclude, McCain just had his good friend vote for the other guy, Sucks to be him, especially wiht these poll numbers.
