Lawrence O’Donnell speculates today that Colin Powell is ready to endorse. O’Donnell claims that Powell is going to endorse Obama.
There has been speculation about this for many weeks — often spoken of as either a game changer for Obama (this would be more than 3 weeks ago) or as an inoculation for some new river of slime coming from the McCain camp.
Frankly, I’ve always doubted that Powell would get into this enough to actually endorse. He seems content to do whatever it is he is doing (including throwing bombs at BushCo) via proxy which is Colonel Wilkerson. He hasn’t really wanted to get back out and play in the big arena again, and for good reason, I think. But there are alot of people talking about this, so I want to hear what you think. Do you believe that Powell will endorse and if he does, who does he align with and how does that change the next 20 days?
