There will never be a perfect candidate or a perfect world; all the voter can do is damage control. I understand your motives to be helpfully controversial, but the point is: it would be disastrous to have another term of ..what we've had. Democracy allows change. Sure, sure, I can hear you now "the parties are the same"... not this time baby. There will always be cross over garbage, but I'm glad to vote for Democrats. Stop futzing over the little stuff.

And his silence would say something to those folks, just as his endorsement of McCain would.<BR/><BR/>So having him endorse McCain is okay with me. Plus the point by point argument he made to Brokaw was about as calmed, reasoned and devastating as it can get. -- Sparkle Plenty<BR/><BR/>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10928393.post-49364554607388097112008-10-20T01:46:00.000-06:002008-10-20T01:46:00.000-06:00Why am I not all shaky with awe and gratitude?Beca...<I>Why am I not all shaky with awe and gratitude?</I><BR/><BR/>Because you're a dunce. Regardless of what <I>we</I> may think of Powell, he is held in high regard -- very high favorables -- and that can sway undecideds; that's why it's good news for Obama and Obama supporters. <I>And</I>, Powell's arguments about McCain's smears and such are valid -- i.e., your argument is ad hominem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10928393.post-89754681340537732072008-10-19T15:42:00.000-06:002008-10-19T15:42:00.000-06:00My sentiments exactly.
