I'd expect nothing less from him.

He reminds me of Newt or Christie - bigmouthed clowns.

He desperately wants to be part of a Romney cabinet.

The more I think about it, the more it bothers me that he removes no one from his campaign for incompetence, giving him bad advice, or making him look like a racist or rape-endorser. At the end of the day, he's shown no reflection of an executive who can make a management change.

Sununu releases statement in response to controversy:

Colin Powell is a friend and I respect the endorsement decision he made, I do not doubt that it was based on anything but his support of the President’s policies. Piers Morgan’s question was whether Colin Powell should leave the party, and I don’t think he should.

Tie Sununu to Romney and then play his statement. For those whop have not seen racism at the highest levels of the Republican Party would see it clearly, especially if the clip included snippets of Powell's military and poliitical record.

If that holds true for Powell and all blacks, then surely it holds true for every white who votes for Mitt.

Every time I hear his voice, I get a splitting headache.

rob delaney ?@robdelaney
Gathering from your tweets that John Sununu said Powell endorsed Obama because he's black & Meat Loaf endorsed Romney because he sucks?
