Colin Powell broke with the Republican Party and endorsed Barack Obama for President this morning on Meet the Press. This is sure to be met with cheers from black folks across the 'net. Not sure how the GOP is going to take it. If nothing else, having the most respected military official in the country give Barack the 'OK' has to seriously impede that experience argument.
Powell also had some important things to say about this whole "He's a Muslim" nonsense. Specifically, "So what???" He's not the first person to point out the terrible offense of damning someone for being Arab or Muslim in a country where Arabs and Muslims die in uniform every day. But having someone make the argument over coffee on Sunday morning had to help drive the point home. Well done.
