Would not the endorsement have some effect on the "still" undecided voters? I am guessing yes it would.

Anyone still undecided should be embarrassed then hit themselves in the head with a brick

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.

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.

I've been searching for that definition this whole campaign season.

Yeah, I've noticed

But do you draw the line at less than $250 k per annum, or more?

And 'who dis' in your avatar?

And what happened to our official political pundit?
