The pipsqueaks I referenced in the previous post are doubtless having one of their weekly conniptions, but Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama this morning was about as good as it gets. I don’t quite share his assessment of the man’s character and judgment, but he made a persuasive case nonetheless.
Theodore Roosevelt and Richard Nixon liked to talk about the importance of standing in the arena, and they weren’t wrong. Powell has been there, even if Obama hasn’t. (I refuse to count running for president as qualifying experience.) He deserves to be listened to.
