2. MrScorpio
10$ bet with the wife. She says he doesn't endorse. I upped it to a sawbuck. No takers. Why else would he be on? With 16 days to go?

8. Nobody's a fan, kansas
Not the point. If he brings 1 voter or 1,000,000 voters. That's the point.

12. hmmm... well I guess there aren't any people that will not vote for Obama because
of a Powell endorsement. And if more do then.... ok I see.

I'll stand down on this issue... if.. if you'll admit there are lots of better endorsements. :-)

11. On the other hand...
judging from his past history, he might endorse McCain. He sort of threw away his honor years ago, didn't he?

14. I beg to differ
Wow, we are really out of touch with the great sea of ignorance that is the American electorate here at DU.

15. So blackness negates military service and service to Republican administrations?
Perfect example of what pisses me off about America!
