Default More on Colin Powell's Endorsement of Obama

Powell's comments yesterday, both on Meet the Press and afterwards,
were absolutely devastating to the McCain campaign. I don't think
I've ever heard a more direct and erudite non-endorsement and
endorsement of two candidates.


And he still considers himself to be a Republican. Interesting,
isn't it?

Tradition. Or perhaps he hopes his party will come to its senses if it
is handed a catastrophic loss. A more moderate Republican party might be
more successful in the future. But if it continues to run lousy
candidates and almost totally negative campaigns, it deserves to lose
and lose and lose.


The more the Democrats become liberal the more the loose the
presidential elections. It seems that when the Democrats move to the
right they win and when the Republicans move to the right they win. 1976
is an exception.
