#1 Funny, I was just listening to Colin Powell on Meet the Press saying how Obama only had limited contact with Ayers and the whole thing was being blown out of proportion. Must be something in the water at the State Dept.

#2 Colin endorsed Obama - I think he's trying to get invited to the "cool" parties again

#3 General Powell's endorsement surprises few I suspect. Die luipaard te verander hy punt? Not likely.

#4 I never woulda voted for Powell anyway, even at the height of his popularity after Desert Storm. He was for affirmative action and gun control and that told me all I needed to know.

#5 Off topic I suppose but Powell was a "political" officer for most of his career. While he did have some time in combat in Vietnam he spent a sizable percentage of his time in DC assigned to the Pentagon or even the White House.

He has always been smooth and diplomatic but I have never seen him as socially conservative.

Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama succeed wid non-African/Black Voters due to SocioCulture-related LOW HATE RETENTION = ANTI-HATRED, + OVERT PERSONAL FORGIVENESS OF PUBLIC OR POL ADVERSARIES > NOT PERFECTLY to be sure, but enuff to inspire Non-African/Black Majority confidence in their agendums and leadership as to overwhelm Race-related = anti-Black "Glass Ceilings".
