Brad,  I disagree. This is not your average meaningless "Joe Hollywood"
endorsement. I admire Powell and respect his opinion and judgement. I think
many others do as well. Unlike a Ted Kennedy endorsement (or Clinton) this
speaks to those outside the left base. I am not saying I am voting for Obama
but I recognize the significance of this endorsement.

Fair Winds,

Wally
