The effect of Colin Powell
I'm with the brigade who hates Colin Powell for his despicable presentation before the UN in the lead-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, but this just in from my mother:
[Your father] held his nose and voted for Obama after listening to Colin Powell. He quickly mailed it before he could change his mind and had a bit of a problem walking upright for awhile. But he seems to have evened out again. Good he voted before Palin announced Obama is communistic.
This is in Oregon, where Obama was going to win anyway, but still. First Democratic candidate for President my father has voted for since LBJ in 1964. You connect the dots.
