Do Endorsements Factor Into Your Voting Decision?
Is it the voting equivalent of jumping off a cliff? If well-known people/newspapers/terrorist organizations are endorsing a candidate, does it make you want to do it too? With less than two weeks left, endorsements of varying pedigrees and celebrity are piling up.
Reactions to Powell's Endorsement: Race, Elitism, & Legacy?
After Colin Powell's thorough endorsement of Barack Obama yesterday on Meet the Press the reactions and analysis flew in the media and your comments. Here are some of the standout reactions:
- Michelle Malkin called "Powell’s embrace of Barack Obama is a triumph of hope over reality," but is careful to say she doesn't think it's an issue of race. "It’s Obama’s social liberalism, not his skin color, that attracts Powell most."
- Rush Limbaugh and Pat Buchanan didn't come to the same conclusion, saying, "I am now researching his past endorsements to see if I can find all the inexperienced, very liberal, white candidates he has endorsed," and "look would Colin Powell be endorsing Obama if he were a white liberal Democrat..."

Glee. This pictures of Colin Powell getting down with his soberly respectable self fill me with utter glee. The former secretary of state hip-hopped on stage with the Nigerian group Olu Maintain at the Africa Rising Festival at the Royal Albert Hall last night.
Christopher Hitchens Endorses Obama
Interesting, since we were just talking about Republicans turning away from McCain this morning, Christopher Hitchens has just released his endorsement for Obama. Hitchens says:It therefore seems to me that the Republican Party has invited not just defeat but discredit this year, and that both its nominees for the highest offices in the land should be decisively repudiated, along with any senators, congressmen, and governors who endorse them. It's not an argument without measure, indeed the last paragraph is quite explicit as to why he made his decision.
Oprah Doesn't Get an Obama Bump
Oprah may have gotten the raw end of the Barack Obama endorsement. Politico chronicled the almost instant dive in Oprah's likability ratings since she endorsed Obama. Apparently pollsters have been scientifically gathering public opinion of Oprah for decades, just like they do for world leaders.

Inconvenient Timing: Hillary Receives Big Endorsement
If an endorsement falls in Hillary Clinton's forest on the same day Barack Obama gives a huge speech about race, does it make a sound? If it does, it's muffled at best.
