Would you vote for Colin Powell if he ran for president?

Since he isn't running, who are you currently supporting?

    You bet in a heart beat. He's a man of Honor and Integrity, a war Hero, and worthy of my respect. Colin Powell stands for solid "real" family values. He is strong on National security and would be far less blind to the safety issues of our broken borders. Reluctantly McCain but not happy that way, but its like you have a choice between a rotted banana, a mostly rotted banana, or one with a lot of dark bruises. some how you loose your taste for bananas.

    i might come closer to balloting for Powell than i might Bloomberg. i think of Powell ought to get the Republican nomination however. He became on Larry King final evening and he spoke so intelligently, some thing it somewhat is superb in a flesh presser. He could be an ideas-blowing chief.

    Yes

    I am Currently voting for McCain.

    He may not be my first choice as a Republican, but I would have to learn more about his positions on some issues. I would definitly vote for him over Obama or Hillary or pretty much any other democrat.

    Maybe. Trying to sell the UN on Iraq's WMD was pretty damaging, but I'm not sure he really had any choice but to believe Tenet's word. It still makes him look like a dupe.

    Probably leaning towards McCain, but I wouldn't say that support is very firm.

    I am voting Hillary. Not sure I would because he's a Republican and I think that's the last thing this country needs right now. But he sure is a man with integrity. I would really consider it.

    Probably not.

    I would vote for JC Watts or Michael Steele.

    Probably, but it depends who he was running against. I will vote for McCain.

    No. He sacrificed his credibility by selling Bush's war before the UN.

    I can't vote but if I could I would vote for the one candidate who consistently opposed the war from the start. I think you know who he is (no, not Ron Paul, who will not be a GE candidate).
