Nothing is for sure but the word is that both former secretary of state, Collin Powell & Republican senator, Chuck Hagel are about to endorse Obama

Here's Robert Novak's article:

Hagel is a very close friend of McCain. This could be a devastating blow to the McCain candidacy [dry up donations fast

Don't you know I'm in heaven now?
And my little dream, is this really real?
I'm scared to pinch myself to find out.

Well happ, I'd love to see it but even Novak says that it's likely that "Hagel never will" endorse Obama.

I can hardly wait to hear the screams of "traitor to the cause" and "he wasn't that effective anyway" from the White House, Karl Rove and Fox News when either, or (please god) both of them endorse.

We can see this Novak column as one of the opening rounds in the discrediting of both. When the time comes to smear them the Rs will be able to say; "as Robert Novak pointed out in his column of July 2nd".

Hagel has been mentioned as a possible running mate that would infuriate Democrats.

I found this part of the article very worthy of sharing. The whole article is a good read on how conservatives are angry at the Grand Old Party.

The prototypal Obamacon may be Larry Hunter, recognized inside the Beltway as an ardent supply-sider. When it became known recently that Hunter supports Obama, fellow conservatives were stunned. Hunter was fired as U.S. Chamber of Commerce chief economist in 1993 when he would not swallow Clinton administration policy, and he later joined Jack Kemp at Empower America (ghostwriting Kemp's column). Explaining his support for the uncompromisingly liberal Obama, Hunter blogged on June 6: "The Republican Party is a dead rotting carcass with a few decrepit old leaders stumbling around like zombies in a horror version of 'Weekend With Bernie,' handcuffed to a corpse."


wow, wow and a triple wow

Powell met with McCain a couple of weeks before Obama. Eh.

Obama will not choose Hagel as a VP. Hagel has dried up and is about to blow away.

Collin Powell is such a loser I didn't expect anything else from him. I remember him sitting at the UN and holding that speech and later stating he wasn't agreeing with what he said...well than he should have walked away from the job....

I'm not surprised that all kind of strange people or with a lack of judgement are endorsing Obama, all the same kind.....!
