Today
was a good day for Obama. After the announcement that his campaign
raised $150 million in September, which is just crazy, the predicted
General Powell endorsement was made public on Meet The Press.
As
I said before, I don't think this will do much for Obama. It might make
a few Independents feel like this is a good nod in terms of leadership
and foreign policy. It might make a few black conservatives who were on
the fence because of the race issue decide to give Obama a chance.
This
will be on the news for the next few days which helps Obama as well and
if the McCain camp tries to go after Powell, it would be a disaster for
them. Their best bet is to just acknowledge it and ignore it.
