I have my problems with the role he played in getting us into the Iraq war, and the way he used his credibility to prop up the morally bankrupt foreign policy of George W. Bush, but Powell's endorsement is another indication that moderate Republicans and some conservatives are starting to realize that we really do need a change in this country, and that change is not going to come with a McCain/Palin presidency:




Addendum - Powell also said:

"And now I guess the message this week is we're going to call him a socialist. Mr. Obama is now a socialist, because he dares to suggest that maybe we ought to look at the tax structure that we have. Taxes are always a redistribution of money. Most of the taxes that are redistributed go back to those who pay them, in roads and airports and hospitals and schools. And taxes are necessary for the common good. And there's nothing wrong with examining what our tax structure is or who should be paying more or who should be paying less, and for us to say that makes you a socialist is an unfortunate characterization that isn't accurate."
