I'd love to see Colin Powell in that spot, but it's very unlikely, and not just because he's a Republican. Can you imagine an all black ticket going over well in backwards ass places like West Virginia? I can't.
Maybe most of the rednecks from around the country would swallow their wads of tobacco and choke out of pure shock, thus making them unable to vote on election day.
Powell would be a forceful presence on the ticket. But as much as he probably privately hates Bush & Cheney, he would want to stay loyal to his party of choice, for which I could never blame him. Imagine Powell and Obama getting in Lieberman's face like yesterday's encounter. Old Joe's lips would still be quivering...
