vawitchi 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) Obama
I 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...
