Will you fist bump me? Check "Yes" or "No"

Colin Powell appears on MTP tomorrow, interviewed by........who the fuck hosts MTP now? Brokaw? Really?

The NY Daily News thinks Powell will endorse Superman.

Their argument:

After months of playing political Hamlet, Colin Powell is finally ready to tell America who he likes for President - and the smart money says Barack Obama is Powell's choice.

..."After Sunday people aren't going to have any doubt who he's voting for."


Also, there seems to be no love loss between Cliff and WALNUTS!:

Two other colleagues Powell has consulted in recent weeks told The News that while Powell admires McCain, he's roubled that the GOP candidate has surrounded himself with hardline national security advisers.

"McCain has too many neocons working for him," said one Republican source familiar with Powell's thinking.
Powell is also irked that McCain's political handlers orchestrated disingenuous leaks to reporters during the Democratic convention that Powell was a leading candidate to be McCain's running mate.

The News reported in August that when McCain met with Powell in early summer to lobby for his endorsement, Powell told the Arizona senator he wouldn't join the ticket under any circumstances.

Obama also privately lobbied Powell after the primaries and has called the general frequently since in hopes of making the sale. McCain, by contrast, has been AWOL; Powell hasn't heard from him in months.

"He wishes McCain could give him a reason to vote for him, but he hasn't yet," a Powell associate told The News.
Powell told both suitors their politics were a bit too off-center for his tastes: Obama too liberal, McCain too conservative.

...Powell knows McCain far better than Obama and gave $2,300 to his then-struggling primary campaign in August 2007. At the time, however, he told McCain the contribution was because of their long friendship and wasn't an endorsement.


And what of Barry?:

At the same time, Powell is known to admire Obama's swift rise to national prominence and recognizes the Democrat's symbolic importance to African-American aspirations and racial progress.

In April, Powell praised Obama's skill in assembling a first-rate campaign operation. "That gives me some indication that [despite] his inexperience in foreign affairs or domestic affairs, he may also be somebody who can learn quickly," he said.

Inexperience.

Learning quickly.
