The Ghost of RubangB on 20 October 2008
Colin Powell was a General, National Security Advisor under Reagan, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Bush 1 AND under Bill Clinton, and Secretary of State under Bush 2. The man worked for 4 presidents. When he switches parties, it's a HUGE fucking deal, and not based on anything petty like skin color.
I expect many more moderate Republicans that are on the fence to realize it's okay to cross party lines after Buckley lost his job and even Powell did it.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. The Republican Party is falling apart.
