Colin Powell The Ideal VP
SlashDot.com is reporting that former Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell was selected as the “ideal VP candidate” for both John McCain and Barak Obama by a sophisticated online survey:
For both candidates, the best running mate is Colin Powell, a former U.S. Army general and former secretary of state under President George H.W. Bush, according to the survey, which was powered by an Affinnova algorithm it calls “evolutionary optimization.”
Apparently, the ongoing war in Iraq has not tarnished Powell’s credibility or his apparent trustworthiness. I’ve always admired Powell, and thought that he was thrown under the bus by the current administration in their run up to the Iraq war. It would be nice to see Powell back in a position from which he could help America regain some of its lost stature in the world community.
