Spin Matters

Mike Allen's Playbook column at Politico.com quotes ABC News' George Stephanopoulos as saying of the Powell endorsement of Obama:
His endorsement is a real signal to moderate Republicans and independents that Barack Obama is OK.
I prefer the interpretation that it is a real signal to all Republicans and conservatives that RINO Colin Powell is not OK. I'm not sure what independents make of the endorsement, probably not much.

Spin matters.
