Agreed, McCain's campaign has gone in totally the wrong direction. They should have been going after Obama's economic policies, lack of experience, questionable associations that are more obvious and his flip-flops instead. Had they attacked his association with Rezko and officers in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac who took multi-million dollar golden parachutes and became advisors to Obama's campaign , his "spread the wealth" philosophy (refundable tax credits to folks who pay little or no tax), his questionable bill that might cost the US more than the bailouts (in the form of increased foreign aid) and his backing out of public financing so that he could take in an unheard of amount of money from folks like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and spend tons of money on commercials in freaking video games and 30 minute prime time "sermon times" because he's not facing spending limits like he agreed to do when McCain did, then Powell might have had a choice who to support. But, then, Powell should be aware of all of this, too, so is supporting the wrong person because the right persons campaign has gone in the wrong direction the right thing to do?
