Why isnt Powell a presidential candidate? He would make an excellent President. And if a man with his experience and stature endorses Obama, then why would McCain be a better choice?
Also, you did not find it odd when all the blacks voted for whites before. So, you are basically saying that if a good black candidate the blacks feel strongly about comes along, we should not vote for that person, because whites will accuse of of voting for them because they are black? You don't complain when everyday overwhelming numbers of whites vote for whites in many things. We don't complain about it, but now we support a good black candidate and you complain? Obama is clearly on point.
What you don't understand is that blacks are under a different scrutiny then whites. Blacks are more willing to be open minded towards another black, and therefore it is easier for us to recognize the greatness in another black, just as it is easier for you as a nonblack to not get it. People tend to be able to relate better in general with people with simlar culture, just as you probably relate to whites better. Most of us would not support a bad black dandiate. Obama happens to be on point.
So, around 89% of Blacks (CNN reported) who are going to vote just happen to think he's the best choice for a Democratic President? That seems a little odd to me...
Thank You General Powell for saying out loud what I have been waiting 4 someone of Your stature to say 4 so long. So what if someone is Muslim, Arab, Asian, Buddhist or whatever. So what is someone is not 100% Caucasian or Christian. There Is Only One Human Race, We Are All Pink On The Inside, We Are One. The divisive hateful nature of the McCain/Palin Campaign must come to an end. United We Stand but divided we fall & ultimately fail.
Why is it that when a white person supports a white person it is no big deal but when a black person supports a black person there is an issue? Imagine if white folks who supported white folks were questioned like that. What about when whites supports blacks? Why are they doing it? What about when blacks support whites? Why can't it be accepted many blacks just think Obama is a better candidate as many whites and other non blacks do.
Not nearly so much as the democratic race bating machine. What is Rev. Wright, an all encompassing white lover? Where were the Blacks in the Democratic Party, back on da farm?

This my friends, is what happens when your party is splintered. Even the Reagan Republicans are is dismay with their party.
If the Republicans don't rally together, they risk losing even more seats in Congress.
I wonder how the Republicans are feeling about Bush?
