A huge plus for our morale, maybe, but not at the polls. Anyone who is still undecided in this presidential race at this late date is still working through their misgivings about electing a socialist Muslim president, and is likely to view a Powell endorsement as just Black folk sticking together.

Since the McCain campaign is going to willfully misinterpret every fact statement they don't like, it's the MSM's intellect that matters. I wouldn't stake this election on the MSM's intellect.

Mr. Drew, or is it Mr. Rove,

How about addressing her actual points rather than attacking her ad hominem as an elitist?

The MSM and low-information voters are one and the same. High-information voters didn't major in journalism 20 years ago.

And the KKK endorses McCain over Obama. So?

For Secretary of State: Harold Koh, current Dean of Yale Law School, and former Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor under Clinton.

What is it with neocons and monogrammed towels?

A good chunk of Clinton's support comes from Limbaugh ditto-heads looking to make mess of the Dem primary.

And a good chunk are longtime Democrats who have been convinced that Obama is an elitist Muslim Black Panther. These numbers point to one thing only: Hillary's scorched earth campaign.

As for former Rhodes scholar George Stephanopoulos, the answer lies in his tell-all memoir "All Too Human." George took Monicagate as a personal betrayal, which in his mind still dwarfs any and all of the Bush administration's perfidies. He seeks a Clinton restoration, nurtured by the same issue-free symbolic politics that brought him down, by way of closure on Monicagate.

"Typical white people" are racist enough in 2008 that casting directors still recast Asian American roles with white actors on the grounds that white audiences won't pay money to see Asian Americans (particularly men) in starring roles.
