Here's some quotes from CP's endorsement...
Quote:

"I think he is a transformational figure, he is a new generation coming onto the world stage, onto the American stage, and for that reason I'll be voting for Sen. Barack Obama,"
|
Really? Because he's young and so-called "transformational?" That's why CP endorsed him?

"Obama displayed a steadiness, an intellectual curiosity, a depth of knowledge," Powell said. "He has met the standard of being a successful president, being an exceptional president," he said.

How so? By missing all the votes or voting not present? Is that what makes a president successful or exceptional?
Unfortunately, with dumb statements like these, it's no wonder why people question the reall reason for CP's endorsement and assume it to be more about race than actual qualifications
I don't believe race was the key issue ... obviously CP has a beef with the Republican party and W's administration. But because of these ridiculous statements, it makes the endorsement appear only to be skin-deep.
