It's likely that had McCain been able to convince him to he'd be on his VP ticket... the man is one of the greatest military minds of our time... not on the level of Patton or anything, but still very well possitioned. He's a black man who didn't use his race as a stepping stone, but went and earned his way up through, no doubt, very tough opposition. I greatly respect him even if he was a Army General and not a Marine :p |
What is rather interesting is - he supports affirmative action - which most GOPers don't. I really wish the program was expanded to add disadvantaged children of all races, though. I definitely respect Powell and think this is a painful blow for McCain.
