Powell's Future

[khirkhib]

Though I don't think Bush will be elected president I know that it is possible.  I however really don't think that Powell would be in the next cabinet.  Powell would never annouce that he is not going to be on the cabinet because he is loyal and respectful to his boss but I don't know to what extent he is going to campaign for Bush either.  He knows that if he resigned or said he would not be returning in the next cabinet that it would cost Bush votes and even if Bush/Cheney don't want Powell their any longer they won't say anything like that until after the election.

Powell has been ostrasized and ignored by Bush for much of the last four years, he has done his tasks (speak to the UN) only to have his words crossed by Bush's actions and quite frankly it is suprising that some one as popular as Powell (especially in this GOP year of inclusion) is not speaking at the convention.  

So the question is do you honestly think Powell will be in the next cabinet.   If he is will it be in the same position.  If he isn't how will his resignation play out in the media (what will the spin be) and what would he go on to next.

I wish the voters knew that.

Left-wing loon.

Right-wing whackjob.

Thanks for the defence Wakie.  I must have accidentally touched a sore spot.
