i don't normally pipe up in my LJ about politics, but given that I am a minority religion, I have *issues* with the GOP... glad to see the "average" American isn't the only one...
Colin Powell endorses (but not stumping for) ObamaI am glad to hear this news. It's good that while Powell adressed the race = vote issue, he did not harp on it - instead pointing to his opinion while McCain is a good choice, Palin & the politics of the GOP is not. Personally, I think McCain is the better choice - but since both Palin and the GOP's politics came part & parcel - I am running in the opposite direction (I don't think that Obama is bad, per se - but a little more experience on Senate committees would be nice - but that's what an experienced VP & Cabinet is for!).
Really - when did we suck out & make it that the Pres & VP had to be from the same party? talk about *having* to reach across the aisle to get things done... sigh...
