<<Mr. Powell will surely decline, knowing the fine character that he is.>> Maybe he has changed now, but Powell long ago sold his soul to the devil. He has always been the company man, right or wrong, which leads one to question his character. Two items: 1) The My Lai massacre. 2) 2002 United Nations speech making the case for war.

The first alternative of being a running mate to Hillary has always been a possibility. With Hillary's negatives I can now see his not accepting and running with Bloomberg or Bloomberg's choice. That would certainly be the death of the Democrat ticket and maybe even party. Since Bloomberg goes back and forth in Party identity, its possible he would throw his support to the Democrat ticket if it includes Obama. Rumor regarding Powell I would discount. And, yes it does sound like a Clinton type rumor. For now Iowa and New Hampshire are the ones to watch for Obama. mj

I predict Edwards will win Iowa, followed By Hillary and Obama. Going into New Hampshire, a state with almost no minorities, Obama will have real problems. His charisma will keep him alive but assuming Edwards is now the mo-mo guy, he will take South Carolina as he did in 2004. And Nevada and Michigan because of his tremendous union support. So where exactly does Obama win a primary? Regardless, Obama will continue to have sizeable support, especially amongst anti-establishment young voters and minorities. Hillary may win New Hampshire but it won't be by enough to help her much. She is the Dem establishment. But since they couldn't break the GOP's filibusters and Bush veto's they're weakened. Remember the end game, to beat Mitt Romney the GOp establishment candidate who will probably end up beating McCain and Huckabee. Who is strongest against Romney? Mitt Romney (R) vs. John Edwards (D) Poll Date Sample Romney (R) Edwards (D) Spread RCP Average 10/31 to 12/14 - 36.5% 53.0% Edwards +16.5% Zogby 12/12 - 12/14 1000 LV 38% 50% Edwards +12% CNN 12/06 - 12/09 RV 37% 59% Edwards +22% Newsweek 10/31 - 11/01 1002 RV 37% 53% Edwards +16% Rasmussen 10/31 - 11/01 800 LV 34% 50% Edwards +16% Edwards wins by a landslide and no one else does. Because red state and heartland conservatives don't really trust or like an east coast elitist Bushie Mormon like Romney.
