Could be the case, but you gotta respect McCain for taking a shot. It could have gone either way. He's rather liberal for a Republican candidate and Palin was definitely unexpected. I'm voting for McCain, but only because I think he's the lesser of the two evils. I don't think either one was the best candidate nominated for their parties, though.

I like McCain, but I actually lost a little respect for him for that choice. I just don't believe that he truly thought she was the best choice out there (how could he?) Seemed really gimmicky to me.

Yeah, I agree with that ... I think he took a chance in choosing her (maybe trying to get some of the votes from Hillary's supporters?) and I highly doubt that he thought she was the best choice out there. I would have rather Mitt Romney myself, but too late for that. I've accepted the fact that Obama is probably going to be our next President. I'll get over it at some point.

Saw Powell on Meet the Press this AM with Tom Brokaw (sp?).

I made the same decision for Obama as Powel did. Poor VP choice...Rep party moving too far right...I agee with Powell's views 100% and I do hope that Obama uses Powell in some capacity in his administration.

This guy is trying to salvage his reputation. Remember he's the one that helped sell the Iraq War.

And it you followed closely, it was on the information that was CONCRETE EVIDENCE that was supplied by OUR CIA that he spoke to United Nations. And he instructed Bush that all diplomatic means should have been explored before war was started but was OVER RULED by Cheney and his staff. Powell was pushed aside by Bushes staff and kept as an outsider.

Look up this guy who gave Bush and Powell all the intel and said it was CONCRETE.

is't powell saying he was lied to? i think that's the line he's taking. that he staked his reputation on what supposedly has turned out to be a bunch of b.s.

I guess it is a matter of perspective but I don't see the (R) party moving to the right at all.
