I cannot understand your die hard belief that Colin Powell will win. Trust me, he will not make through primaries if he chose to run as a republican. Colin's presidency is nothing but a distant mirage. He himself has said in his book that Southern white male is not ready for his (black) presidency. He himself lambasted at GOPs lip service to minorities. If he were to run, he would be clobbered by GOP stalwarts like Jesse Helms, Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell. Make no mistake about it.

Neocon, I will let you in on a secret. Many folks think that they have come a long way and are proud that they have done away with slavery and there has been lot of progress in civil rights. Everything is hunky dory so far. The problem is now we witness a sub concious violation of civil rights and the proof is in statistics of less minorities in jobs (certainly very few in upper echelons of white collar jobs) and disproportionately large number of them are incarcerated. Amusingly, some of them came up with Bell Curve theories and other theories to explain why blacks are not doing well.
