Waiting for Godot

Ever since the trial balloon went up last week, it's been a little like waiting for Godot, anticipating the announcement by General Colin Powell that he's supporting Obama.

There was even some speculation that it would be a stealth attack against Obama, and he would actually end up endorsing fellow Repugnican Grampaw McCain.

Well, that didn't happen, and he finally came out today for Obama.

"I firmly believe that at this point in America's history, we need a president that will not just continue, even with a new face and with the changes and with some maverick aspects, who will not just continue basically the policies that we have been following in recent years," Powell said.

And John McSame? Stick a fork in him. He's done.
