Default Colin Powell endorses Obama (Your thoughts)

Well I am wondering if to any of you this is significant. While I must say I am happy he endorsed Obama I must say that either way I looked at it, it was the obvious choice. I will admit it sounds racist but Powell is African American so it seemed he would be with Obama, however since he is Republican he was going to endorse McCain.
CNN had a poll wondering if Powell endorsing Obama was significant, to myself I thought it wasn't. But when it showed me the polls it was 69% (65575) saying it did matter and 31% (29310) saying it doesn't matter.
So anyone here what are your thoughts.

As well lastly I am wondering, who are you voting for, and who do you expect to win. (NO POLITICS just state your opinion on this)

Oh yeah: NOT FAIR, today Biden is in Tacoma Washington, I go to school down there and wasn't told of this NOT FAIR!!!

Personally, it doesn't make a difference to me. But, I guess it does with some people.

Still not exactly sure who I will be voting for. Obama will not get my vote, however McCain may get it defensively.

Okay so you wrote half of the last part, now my question is, regardless of who you are voting for, you do you expect/think will win?

I will answer it as well: I am voting for Obama, and part of me expects him to win, but for some reason I think McCain will get his steam back up and will barely win the election.

Sorry, my bad lol.

I really feel that it's too close to call. Considering how unreliable polls can be and have been in the past, 4-6 points is really close. I was expecting Obama to win a month ago. However, I think expecting the one you don't want to win is a way of preparing yourself for the worst lol.

I don't even know who Colin Powell IS lol.
Now, I can't vote because I'm not a US Citizen, but I would be voting for Obama. Considering I don't know who Colin Powell is, it doesn't make a difference for me.

As for expecting anyone to win, right now I haven't a clue. Like MarchoftheBlackLions, if you'd asked me earlier I'd have said Obama, but right now I couldn't tell you.

Voting mccain,Obama is just to much of a risk and his plan is only planned for 2 years so i question his plans on taxes after that.
Collin powel voteing for obama he must be democrat now.
I could see obama pulling the win off becouse acorn is for obama so they're probly pulling fraud votes for him.i cant believe are tax money goes to this one sided orginization.
and dont believe cnn or fox news polls one right sided the others left sided both always lean for the opposite..

Congrats on falling for the republican dis-information train.
If you'd pay any amount of attention to real news you'd know that this was an effort that was ment to wrongfully smear Obama.
Just like his "links to terrorists", his "muslium" background, and so much more.



Anyway, I hope Obama wins by a land-slide. The last two elections were close and allowed easy manipulation of the votes which then allowed the republican party to steal the election without too much of a notice. But if there is a large gap, a fix in the election will be more notible and riskier.
