Is Powell just imagining that the Republican party is shifting to the right? Is it about race?

"WASHINGTON – With or without a formal title, Colin Powell will have Barack Obama's ear if the Democratic presidential candidate wins the White House in the Nov. 4 election, the candidate said Monday. "He will have a role as one of my advisers," Barack Obama said on NBC's "Today" in an interview aired Monday, a day after Powell, a four-star general and President Bush's former secretary of state, endorsed him." read the whole thing here http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081020/ap_on_el_pr/obama in politics, it seems as though endorsements come where the job offers are, not that the job is offered after the endorsement. this was obviously planned before Powell made his statement. not that there's anything wrong with that. just saying... i don’t think this has anything to do with race. i think it has to do with this…

Race is an afterthought on this issue, this is about the deep respect Powell commands in the American middle, particularly among moderate independents who lean Republican but who were looking for an excuse to swing, for most of the same reasons that Powell himself has stated.
