Colin Powell Endorses Barack Obama

HURRAY! As you can see, I'm consumed with the upcoming election but this thoughtful conversation on MSNBC with Colin Powell was amazing. The interview covered the characters and issues facing the two candidates very clearly and well, I thought. The division in the country between red and blue was so stark and discouraging, in 2004 especially.

The movement of people towards Barack Obama, especially these last few weeks as McCain's campaign has grown more fear generating and divisive, is a joy to see. I await November 4th with expectancy, excitement and a sense of the world settling right again after these terrible eight years under W. Racism exists in the country, covert and overt, but so far, it looks like fear and hate won't prevail this election. I am grateful.
