<< Why do you assume Powell should run as a Republican ? And not as a Democrat or an independent ? >>

He confirmed a couple of years ago that he is a Republican so why should one not assume that he would run as a Republican? He's been considered for high leadership positions within the GOP and he has made it clear, on many occasions, that politics is not a part of his future plans! It's just that the media refuses to take him at his word and his name keeps popping up! But, as far as the Republican party embracing him as a black man, well we have already. Alan Keyes is a black man also and he's very embraced and respected within the GOP! Sorry to kill the myth that women and blacks aren't electable as Republicans or that Republicans do not have them in leadership positions, think J.C. Watts!!! Jennifer Dunn!!! Sue Myrick!!!

If the media would stop promoting the idea that black and Republican do not go together, more blacks would join us! It'll happen as soon as our "smaller government" starts to show on their lives in a positive way, which it will do!!!

Meanwhile, we've got to get the sleazeball out of the White House so we can clean up the place and get started with our agenda!!!

I will re-state my observation: Powell (or for that matter, any African-American) will NEVER EVER get nominated for President from the Republican Party.
