I’ve got a piece up about Powell’s endorsement of Obama. It’s long, so here’s a teaser and the link:
“Our metaphoric John Galts are speaking up!
On politico, of all places, there is a rough 60/40 “pro-McCain” opinion split (as judged by me, dammit after reading the first 100 comments) calling a big “bullsh*t” on Powell’s statement that his decision has nothing to do with race.
My first instinct, too, was to call this bullsh*t.
Thinking a bit harder about it though opens some interesting lines of thought. If we examine our list of assumptions about Colin Powell, what explains a political calculus that ends up with an Obama endorsement? ”
