Powell Gets White House Snub

Colin Powell gets the big cold shoulder from the White House but response from others has been positive. I'm still watching his endorsement.

Swamp: The day after President Bush's former secretary of state said he would vote for the Democratic presidential nominee, Gerstenzang notes,Powell "has been given a cold shoulder, so to speak, from the Bushies.''

"He's not heard anything from the White House types," said a close friend who spoke with Powell before and after his appearance on Meet the Press on Sunday in which Powell endorsed Obama. On the other hand, he's heard from just about everyone else, this Powell friend said, and response has been "overwhelmingly positive."
