Powell Endorses Obama

Colin Powell has joined the line of principled, reasoned, and intelligent leaders who have endorsed the candidacy of Barack Obama. In doing so he broke ranks with his political party and acknowledged our need for a leader of tomorrow, not a leader of yesterday.

I'm finding more and more such people lately. Even my own brother, who is conservative (and for all I know, Republican) informed me today that McCain had failed his criteria for calm, intelligent, and wise leadership.

A quick glance at the front page of today's Los Angeles Times tells the story. There are two photos front and center: one of John McCain working a room at a town hall meeting, the other of Barack Obama on an outdoor platform in Chicago in front of a vast crowd that seemingly stretches to the horizon. Two pictures can be worth ten thousand words.
