I used to have so much respect for Powell. After he sold the war in Iraq and the extent of the exageration came to light I thought alot less of Powell. Even though he felt played by the Bush administration I do not believe this is warranted. Howe can he be a republican and now align himself with the most liberal ticket this country has seen?

It is apparent that the only reason Obama is using this sponsorship is to gain more swing votes. I do not see it would be possible for them to see eye to eye on the issues.

And yes, it is a guaranteed position in the white house.
