Max: I don't quite follow. Do you think there are undecided voters out there that, having seen this interview, will now vote for McCain because Powell is associated with the Bush White House and the invasion of Iraq? How will this endorsement undermine the Bush-McCain connection?

Wow. I am well impressed with Colin Powell. Erudite, calm, thoughtful. We get Chretien and his golf balls...(admittedly a very funny piece of political theatre, one that had me cheering him on).

For all of Powell's eloquence and his acceptance of the need for "generational change," I would have still liked to see a more honest response to the WMD question. For someone to be so entangled in the Bush Doctrine might not be good for democrats. I guess the question comes down to this: Can the American public forgive Powell for his complicity in 2001, or will his endorsement of Obama serve to undermine the Bush-McCain connection that Obama's camp has been so meticulously crafting since this contest began?
