I was actually hoping Colin Powell and Condoleeza would run--not necessarily win b'c I don't know what they'd really stand for--but run. Thought they might be a good team. I don't care about the color of someone's skin, just their attitude.

This again? You really need to get a hobby.

I agree that those two would have made a wonderful ticket - one that I would have voted for.

Obama is of the "ME" generation of liberal whiners, protesters, anti-American, anti-war gang who Hollywood and hippies love. It's a shame that one of these idiots is probably going to attempt to lead our country next.

How many Democrats do you see on websites like stormfront? Answer: Zero.

The Black Republicans voting for Obama and the White Democrats voting for McCain aren't going to decide this election.

6 points. That's what it could cost him.

Mr. Powell is a genuine success story. Came from a poor family in hells kitchen and made something of himself. He is a man I can easily respect and I would feel honored to vote for him. Race? Who cares. Its the honor, character and beliefs that matter. Mr. Powell is an under utilized resourse.

You know at first you hear he's not black enough and then you hear well he's not white, I really dont know for sure how much race will play but there is one thing I know for sure America will one day be a place without racism and resentment. Now that's a dream we can all vote for!

If Nobama is has one white parent and one black parent, why is he called black? Why not call him white?

Seriously.
