Thomas DeFrank of the NY Daily News: nydailynews.com "It was one of those 'Voice of God' moments," a Republican political operative said, speculating that Powell might embolden other GOP moderates to come forward and back Obama. His endorsement is devastating not just because he validated Obama with independent and undecided voters. He also made clear his belief - despite McCain's "I'm not President Bush" disclaimer at last week's debate - that a McCain presidency would be an unwelcome policy rerun of the discredited Bush-Cheney years.

I didn't yet mention to you that although Colin Powell may have tarnished his image with the whole Iraq fiasco and if he gave any character references to Ted Stevens, but he went a LONG WAY to redeeming himself totally with this endorsement. He really went the extra mile on a number of things- - waiting until 2 wks before election for maximum benefit - openly stating Sarah Palin was unqualified - directly addressing the republican extremist/far right views, as well as expressing his distaste for current repuplican polices directly - denouncing that idiot Bachman etc. He didn't have to say all this but he did.
