He seems well liked by the American pubic, respected by those on Capitol Hill, admired by the Pentagon, and missed by the State Department.
He seems like a natural. What's up?

If he wanted to, and if he ran as an independent, I think he could pose a serious challenge. However, he should have done so a long time ago. By now, he may be politically damaged by having been an early spokesman in favor of invading Iraq.

Colin Powell is a military man very much respected even when he became a civil servant. He could be good candidate for the Presidency.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.

Because he ruined his credibility going to bat for Bush over WMD in Iraq. He convinced a lot of people who hadn't been convinced before that. Then it turned out to be a lie.
Too bad. I would have voted for him before that, and so would a lot of people I know. No one's interested after the big lie though.

He's too smart. There's a saying that goes "No former president has ever told the incoming president, 'Congratulations'"

By having been Dumbya's lap dog, he lost all credibility, especially since he behaved through it all like a complete wuss. Belafdonte was right about him and Dumbya's lap dancer, Condi.

Obviously, the pressure of the responsibility he would have if he won. He quit because he couldn't even handle being the fall guy for Bush, remember?

Because he loves his wife and she has surely told him he would be shot by some redneck within a week.

He doesn't want to. Neither does Condi, neither does Derek Jeter. Neither does the coach ofthe Rutgers women's basketball team. It is that simple.

Because his wife asked him not to.
