Colin Powell Says Barack Obama Win “Would Be Electrifying”
Posted by: Flap in Barack Obama, Colin Powell, John McCain
Former Bush Secretary of State Colin Powell said Monday that he has not yet decided which candidate to back in this year’s presidential race.
The election of an African-American president “would be electrifying,” Powell told a George Washington University audience, “but at the same time [I have to] make a judgment here on which would be best for America.
“I have been watching both individuals, I know them both extremely well, and I have not decided who I am going to vote for. And I’m interested to see what the debates are going to be like because we have to get off of this ‘lipstick on a pig’ stuff and get into issues,” he said.
There has been little doubt that Powell would endorse and support Obama even though he has contributed financially the maximum to John McCain.
Isn’t it all about race?
Come on now……
