Interesting that some of these endorsements are coming so late in the game, so to speak.

Probably wanted to wait until after the last debate, just in case there was some kind of startling revelation...

Excerpt from The Huffington Post ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/17/report-mccain-using-same_n_135699.html ):

In his efforts to attack Barack Obama, John McCain appears to have turned to the same political consulting firm that was responsible for spreading vicious smears about the Senator during the 2000 South Carolina GOP primary.


Apparently for McCain, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. :shakehead:

Peggy Noonan wrote in the Wall Street Journal: "In the end the Palin candidacy is a symptom and expression of a new vulgarization in American politics. It's no good, not for conservatism and not for the country. And yes, it is a mark against John McCain, against his judgment and idealism

Peggy Noonan was a speechwriter for Reagan. When the conservatives start beating him up, it's not a good sign for McCain.

Colin Powell Endorses Obama

Obama Victory Would "Electrify The World"... A "Transformational Figure," Has "Displayed A Steadiness, Showed Intellectual Vigor"... Praises His "Ability To Inspire," "Inclusive Nature Of His Campaign"... Has Met The Standard Of Being "An Exceptional President"... Major Blow To McCain... Powell Says Negativity Has Gone "Too Far"... Criticizes Ayers Attacks... McCain Lacks "Complete Grasp" Of Economic Problems... Palin Not Ready To Be President... VP Choice Raised Doubts About His Judgment... Troubled By Direction Of GOP[/list:u]

Yes, I know. She had more stuff to say about Palin but I thought the quote above gave a succinct summary.

Saw that this morning... Powell's opening statement was gold. :applaud: :victory:

After that, how can anyone in their right mind not vote for Obama?
