I'm a big fan of Colin Powell. He was my choice for V.Pres., but I don't think he wanted it. He is a real leader, and whatever he does, we know will be the best thing for our country. He isn't one to mince words with Republicans or Democrats, a man of true conviction. Lott will be surrounded by movers and shakers, Americans that have a record of standing firm regardless of opposition, He's afraid of standing up to the press, and left poor Newt out on a limb by himself. In the mean time he was running around the country proud of himself because his quartet contained both Republicans and democrats. Who cared?????

tekmon, I particularly like the idea of Powell as Secretary of State, there's a man that will not get us into anything unless absolutely necessary, and if we do get in whatever happens will be decisive. At the time, I thought he was overly cautious, but in retrospect, it served it's purpose to have the mix opinions, that eventually resulted in a successful outcome. But right now, I agree, Powell is the right man for the job, whose views will sit very well with W's goal of the US becoming more "humble", and not a bully that US has become (especially during the Yugoslavia/Kosovo invasion).
