Subject: RE: BS: Colin Powell supports Obama
Why will you watch it, Kendall? It'll will be a bunch of fabricated BS, lies ad infinitum.

My daughter who lives in CT has a boyfriend who is an American of African descent. He goes to community college there. He told me, today, there are white people on campus, people he knows, who have told him, to his face, that they agree with almost everything Obama stands for and has put forth, but they will vote for McCain, even though they cannot stand him, because they just "can't vote for a black man." This is in an area with a very high degree of diversity. It really surprises me. I know there are whitebread parts of CT where I would expect that, maybe, but not where they are and I am shocked they would tell him to his face and in such a frank way. Appalling, imo.
