    I think he'll remain uncommitted. And that's good news for both candidates. If he endorses either candidate, the other will nail him on how he lied, deliberately, intensionally LIED to the UN and the people of the US about Iraq having nuclear weapons. I used to respect him. There was a time I would have voted for him to be president over anyone. Now, I'd think twice if he told me the sky is blue.

    I don't think he'll endorse McCain, but I'm not sure he'll endorse Obama either. I think he has little reason to love the Republican party at this point, and I see little reason to endorse McCain, but of course he may feel differently.

    I'm putting my money on either Obama or neither.

    We will never know how he voted, but he will try to remain impartial to the public while making nice comments about both men and wish them both success.

    Uncommitted.

    I'm curious about why you would pick Colin Powell to ask this question about. Is it because of his race?

    No! He seems party loyal. Even though Bush pushed him out, I doubt it. But I think he might actually vote for him,

    Well it is true that 96% of blacks are not addressing the issues and many are voting on the race card alone. So I guess Colin Powell fits in that category very nicely.

    If he was a smart man who cared about his reputation he will NOT endorse "the Messiah"

    I think he'll endorse McCain. He's always been an uncle tom type and he's also a republican.
