It may have some impact on them, but is it going to be the deciding factor? I don't think so. It is a positive thing for Obama, but not that big of a deal.

I am on the fence and I respect Powell, so his support does mean something to me. I have to agree thought that Obama being Black might be a factor in Powell support of Obama.

There is no way you are going to have your mind made up by election day, blue.

I don't think that tolerating your black friend voting for Obama is a good defence against the concern about your focus on race. I am not accusing you of being a racist. I simply think that in your rush to trivialize and discount the endorsement, you seized on an inappropriate fact to try and negate it.

There is about 6-8% of undecided voters.
They are the ones that not happy with republican due to obvious reasons and still not sold on OBAMA. All talking heads on all channels (MSNBC to FOX) are expecting that this segment will break heavily toward McCain on Election Day. This endorsement could help in minimizing the pro-McCain split in this segment!

PS. It was refreshing to listen to Mr. Powel yesterday. He was first person (if I'm not mistaken) who spoke openly about the current environment of vilifying Muslim Americans.

I don't like the Republicans but don't like higher taxes, Obama is a great new hope but he scares me with regard to taxes and who he defines as rich.

The cost of living is higher in NY than most areas and a income of $250,000 plus is really middle class.

Perhaps it is the demographic on this board, but I struggle with a definition of middle class that is making over $250,000 per year. Maybe that is the upper middle, I don't know. Isn't the median wage in the US around $50k? If $250k is the cutoff for the top 5% (just guessing at that figure) then that is a pretty broad middle.
