colin powell

perhaps trying to salvage a bit of his integrity, finally goes on the endorsement record. he's backing the "transformational" candidate, obama.
former secretary of state colin powell endorsed sen. barack obama, d-ill., for president on sunday, criticizing his own republican party for what he called its narrow focus on irrelevant personal attacks over a serious approach to challenges he called unprecedented.

...powell also said he was “troubled” by republican personal attacks on obama, especially false intimations that obama was muslim and republicans’ recent focus on obama’s alleged connections to william ayers, the founder of the radical ’60 weather underground.

stressing that obama was a lifelong christian, powell denounced republican tactics that he said were insulting not only to to obama but also to muslims.

“the really right answer is what if he is?” powell said, praising the contributions of millions of muslim citizens to american society. - msnbc
