"Call That Guy Larry Wilkerson"

Yglesias is right that the "notional shadow [Colin] Powell" will probably never actually emerge... anybody who thinks Powell is going to officially endorse Obama is one of those people (like anyone who thought Rudy was just going to coast to the nomination) whose political instincts are totally FUBAR and whose shoddy punditry you'd be well-served to completely ignore from here to eternity. Powell's about as likely to come out as gay.
