Colin Powell won't be attending the GOP convention in NYC. They're trying to put the spin on this that Cabinet secretaries NEVER get involved in conventions. And that might be true. Still, the Washington Post obviously found it a bit odd and telling that Powel isn't going, or they wouldn't have reported on it. I agree. Interesting "unrelated" quote from Powell in the story:
"Some people think that if you're a Republican you cannot have moderate views. I have moderate views in a number of issues, moderate by normal political definition, with respect to affirmative action and things of that nature, and I find that there are many, many Republicans like me who feel that way."
