YO! I'M OVER HERE
The Really: We all woke up this morning because Colin Powell really wanted to tell us something important.
The former Secretary of State for the first George W. Bush administration announced today that he will crossing party lines and voting for Senator Barack Obama in 16 days. Colin Powell stated that Obama "is a transformational figure" and has the "ability to inspire". Powell expressed his disappointment with the republican ticket because of what he viewed as a negative turn in John McCain's campaign.
This has to come as a major blow to the republican ticket. I don't think they actually thought that Colin Powell was going to support them, however, I have a feeling they would of rather him just say nothing because many folks, namely republicans, respect and listen to what Colin Powell has to say. It should be interesting to watch the polls this week to see how much of an impact Powell's statement has.
The only sad or negative side to this I see is that I am 100% sure you will hear something from someone about how Colin Powell did this because it is a face issue. That will just go to show us how far this country has not come and how far we still have to go.
