Powell is an opportunist. Of course he wants to be in an Obama administration. He waited until it looked like a sure thing before jumping in. He has no real foundational roots. What kind of Republican is he to say: Obama has always been a Christian [a 7 year old Muslim wanting to be president-contradiction]so what if Obama is a Muslim?/He has difficulty with the possibly of getting 2 conservative judges appointed./The Republican party moving too far to the right than he would like to see./A conservative like Palin not qualified to be president, but Biden, anything but conservative and didn't even get many votes during the primary, is qualified? These things are disturbing enough, but just think about the conservative positions on marriage, abortion, homosexuality,self-reliance, limited government and much more that he has to ignore to opt for a socialist leaning. Either Colin has been a phoney all these years or he has another agenda...which could be anybody's guess!
