Praises Obama as a thinker, trashes McCain's campaign of innuendo and
insults, claims Palin "not ready" for presidency.

Powell, a Republican, a war hero, a well-respected American, says we
need a generational change such as Obama will bring.

Powell said he has been watching Obama and McCain closely since the
conventions, and decided Obama had the ideas, the intellectual capacity
to lead the country.

I'm sure the Republicans will now start trashing Powell.

Powell says he was against the war from day one, that was a lie.
He says McCain got negative about Obama being an Arab, that was a lie.
Fact is McCain corrected folks who suggested that at his own rallies,
in the face of cat calls for doing it.
The fact is Obama's folks showed up at rallies with tee-shirts
refering to Sarah in gross and disturbing terms and Obama said
nothing.
Seems Powell is being swayed by.... well, I will leave that to you
all...
