Sorry, but I can not see it any other way, if 98% of whites voted for McCain, we would all be racists, but it's not when it's reversed? Colin Powell is most definitely not a conservative, I'd call him a left leaning Moderate at best.

Or perhaps Powell didn't like what the Republican party had become?
Conservative and Republican are not the same thing by the way.
