Sorry I'm not up on my list of ex-Sectaries of State currently living. Endorsing McCain are Henry Kissinger, James A. Baker III, Lawrence Eagleburger and Alexander Haig.

Off the top of your head list the surviving Secretaries of the Interior.

Oh, you mean the four white republican guys that are supporting McCain? How racists of them to choose McCain because of the color of his skin. Their choice, including Albright, has nothing to do wit political affiliation or ideology.

I might buy that if they were all Liberal Democrats. Colin Powell is a Republican who served in a Republican administration and supported the war in Iraq even today. Not much in common with Obama but...

Keep up

So shame on Powell for breaking party line and ideology. The nerve of that Uppity Negro.

I was offended by the racism

Powell has rarely seen eye-to-eye with either party. IMO he was a BS SoS when appointed. But that is hindsight. As I stated, he probably had zippy impact as all the talk radio programs I've listened to still have people asking the exact same questions as were brought up prior to that announcement.

So am I. You can't tell me that you think those are my words and my feelings? The unfortunate fact is that it is being said on the conservative talk radio circuit yesterday and today.

The republican party is upset at the endorsement. Will it have a major impact? I'd have to agree with you, but important, nontheless.

I wouldn't have a clue who your past Secretaries of State were, except for the link you conveniently provided in which one of them declared her support for Obama. It was your link; you repudiated your own claim!

You do realize that we don't have Secretaries of State up in the GWN, let alone Secretaries of the Interior?

I'm sure the Haig endorsement really pulls in lots of votes.
