Colin Powell, will he run?
 
I'd vote for him.

Wife says no and a lot of men listen to their wifes, at least later on in life.

Wish he would...

Bush would never let him, he hates black people.

DaveE 09-09-2005 09:23 AM

Yes Len, thanks for the constant reminder........

I'd vote for him. He's got some skeletons in his closet, but overall he seems to exude honesty and integrity and those are a couple of traits virtually absent in other potential presidential nominees.

Like Joe says, though, I don't think his wife will let him.

He's got nowhere near the skeletons in his closet that Giuliani does... and he's a serious contender.

We are in complete agreement about the 'integrity' part, especially now that he has publically stated he was used and duped in the false-WMD speech to the UN.

No problem, I aim to educate.

I'd vote for him too, as President. Regardless of whether he ran as a Republican or a Democrat.

I would also, sadly he has joined the group of

I don't think his ego could take the punishment he'd have to endure once he was in a position where he had to take a stand. One reason he's so popular is that he plays (along with McCain) the role of the Democrat's favorite Republican. He has been able to get away with it while he was with the State Dept, but he couldn't as President. He knows that, and won't run... He'll just make a career of sniping from the sidelines, where he can remain "universally loved".

Agreed. No one on their right mind would want the job.
