Colin Powell.... I have a prediction

He's going to be the Republican nominee in the next election.

Just putting it in writing. Check back in 3 years.

Pretty good dart toss, G...
I like his arm wrestle with DrDoom and RushTheMouth.
The only slight leakage is that he is my age, 62.
Not that that is too old, in 3 years.

PS: Now, we just need about a third less House and a whole
new Senate, and they will still spend more than we can send them.

He's been surfacing a lot lately on the morning political shows, talking about uniting the party etc. ...

Imagine the next election, 2 black men running against each other.

People will go into brain lock trying to figure out what to do.

How can he run against Obama in 2012, when he endorsed him this time?

Anyway, I disagree with your premise. I believe the Republican party will actually have a resurgence of conservatism, just as happened while Carter was POTUS. Reagan led the Republicans back to the Right, after they had drifted alongside the Dems. I think most of the "moderate" leadership of the Reps will be swept aside, and someone will step up to be the next true conservative, as a backlash against the rapid moves to the Left that are being led by the Dems, and some Reps.

I don't think he will run, a) his wife is dead set against it, b)in 4 years he would be running agains who he endorsed and c) in 8 years he would be running against Michelle Obama - he wouldn't do that either.

Powell represents a significant part of the GOP. His views should be taken seriously if the GOP wants to be competitive in the next election. Dismissing him would further alienate the party!
