so that was honest. But to say he doesn't support McCain because Palin isn't qualified is the hight of hypocrisy.
All of the reasons that would disqualify Palin, disqualify Obama. It is asinine and insulting for him to suggest that Palin is a good reason to not support McCain, unless the qualification is that Palin is a social conservative!

Ferd, here are my thoughts....
I think Colin Powell is making an astute observation. McCain, in picking his VP, chose someone who is perceived as lacking experience…yes…similar to how many people see Obama. However, Obama chose a very seasoned VP candidate. In addition, Obama has made it known that though Colin Powell is a Republican (moderate) he is welcome to serve as an advisor in an Obama Administration. Biden and Colin Powell are very skilled politicians and seasoned leaders. That shows the kind of wisdom Obama would lead with. McCain’s choice illustrates a man grasping for political expediency…and by choosing Palin, McCain can be said to be putting the nation in harm’s way, because Palin is very inexperienced and would be expected to lead the nation in the event of a national tragedy should McCain face some form of demise. In my opinion, McCain’s choice of VP is sufficient grounds to question his wisdom, leadership, and his foresightedness. McCain’s choice of VP illustrates that he isn’t looking much beyond election strategy. I see exactly what Powell is saying and I’ve been saying it for quite some time myself.
