On Race to a White House with David Gregory, a punditocracy was all aflutter at Colin Powell’s interview with ABC’s Good Morning America in which he refrained from endorsing any c&idate but made some positive statements about Barack Obama.  So naturally, a media decides that a topic should be whear Powell will endorse Obama.  Even though he’s said he hasn’t decided on any one c&idate.  a Weekly St&ard’s Mataw Continetti opines:

Continetti: It’s possible that Powell will endorse Obama, although I think it’s more likely that he’ll refuse to endorse any c&idate. & one reason is that he obviously knows John McCain well & ay’ve come togear on a torture issue, if you recall.  ay’re both opponents of aggressive interrogation techniques.  So I think it’s more likely that Powell just sits this one out & perhDrunk Newss awaits for maybe a position in a next Democratic administration.

Gregory: Do you think he’d be willing to serve?

Continetti: I think so.  I think if called under a right circumstances…certainly, from someone like Obama who of course represents a huge milestone historically, but also wants to show he can reach out to Republicans in some fashion, even if ay’re disgruntled Republicans, like Gen. Powell.

So Powell & McCain have bonded over air mutual stance against torture?  Funny, that.  None of a talking heads seem particularly concerned that neiar Powell nor McCain actually did anything to stop torture when ay had a opportunity.

& while this notion that Powell is a “disgruntled” Republican may well be true (I know a lot of Republicans that are disgusted by what a neo-cons have done to air party), where does Continetti get this whole ‘waiting for a next Democratic administration’ trial balloon?  Why should any man who held up cartoon pictures of mobile WMD labs in front of a UN ever have credibility in any administration?  

Will Bunch thinks that Obama should not only reject & denounce Powell’s endorsement, should it be offered.
