Colin Powell

I'm sure you've all heard about Colin Powell endorsing Barack Obama. My favorite part of his interview on Meet the Press was when he said:

I'm also troubled by, not what Senator McCain says, but what members of the party say. And it is permitted to be said such things as, "Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim." Well, the correct answer is, he is not a Muslim, he's a Christian. He's always been a Christian. But the really right answer is, what if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer's no, that's not America.

It's nice to hear a well-respected republican say that. Even McCain has not said this, as far as I've heard. Of course, I may be wrong so point it out to me if you have a news article/clip that shows my error.
