Vice President Colin Powell

General Colin Powell

What? Am I hearing this right? General Colin Powell, the former Secretary of State is on John McCain's short list for his running mate. I heard it first from the Gateway Pundit.

Powell's selection would mean an "all military service" ticket for the GOP, versus "no military service" for the Democrats. The choice would no doubt be viewed in some quarters as an attempt to co-opt Obama's negroness.
