This should do it

I've been an Obama supporter for a long time now. At first I just wanted anyone who didn't have a close connection to that idiot W, but as the campaign went along, I became more and more impressed with Obama.

But Jeff was a different story. He was undecided. He changed his mind every other day. After the final debate though, he told me he had finally made up his mind and I was happy, both in the decision that he made and that he had finally made it.

Then yesterday, I just happened to turn on the TV and it just happened to be on Meet the Press and it just so happened that Colin Powell was sitting there talking to Tom Brokaw. Brokaw asked him if he was going to endorse one of the canidates for president. Powell said he would, but he wanted to explain his thought process first. I was intrigued because I respect Colin Powell a great deal. I've often wished HE would run for president. So I watched the interview and I was very impressed with all his reasonings and I completely agree with him. I immediately ran down to tell Jeff what he had said. I know he respects Powell as well and I think his statements made him feel even better about his choice.

It really is a wonderful, well thought out opinion:

I agree with everything you said about Powell and his announcement. It says as much about McCain as it does about Obama, don't you think?

At one point I considered finding and voting for an independent candidate because the election was frustrating me so much. The more I have watched the campaign and really dug into things, the more impressed I am with Obama and even Biden, and the more nervous I am about McCain & Palin.

Good to see you!
