Colin Dalai Lama Powell
I always thought these two seventy year olds looked alike (Dalai Lama is 73 and Powell is 71). In fact I've often mixed them up when scanning images.
As Scott states, I too hope that Powell's thoughtful, convincing endorsement of Obama has a positive affect on "the undecided" voter or some centrist republicans.
Unfortunately for me, he still has no credibility. Like the Dalai Lama though.

For me, I don’t think you can regain credibility, not privately to the smaller groups of people that most of us relate to or publicly on the international scale that Powell dealt in.
I agree with his opinion of Obama and believe his statement was well thought out and convincing.
Do I think he is disingenuous?
No. He is just irrelevant to me.
And I guess irrelevant might have been a better word to choose.
I actually did the post because I thought the two of them do look alike and tying in his endorsement of Obama made it topical.
My first pass at it had a lot of negative comment about Powell, which I then decided to ignore and went with the less said, the better,
That will teach me.
