In Reply to: Ok, how about he was a "closet Obama supporter" until now..IMHO...nm - Is that better?

he's like me and had a hard time deciding which was WORSE. McCain selecting Palin as his running mate, I believe, left no doubt which candidate would be WORST for America. At least that cinched it for me and I should certainly think Powell is at least as smart as I am.

Maybe Powell would like to vote for a Republican but just can't stomach McCain/Palin. I would LIKE to vote for an independent but I don't exactly see one in the running, at least that I could support. Implying that he is voting for Obama because he is black is like saying you WON"T vote for him because he is black.
