Obama needs to stop McCain's "Bounce" the best way possible, but making some exciting news of his own. Something that will move the McCain-Palin junk right off of the front page.
A major endorsement could do it. And by major, I mean Colin Powell.
While most of us at Daily Kos DESPISE Powell's conduct in the lead up to the Iraq War, many Americans feel quite differently about him.
In a February 2008 Poll, Rasmussen found that Colin Powell's endorsement carried far more weight than any of a list of names/media and organizations, including Al Gore and John Edwards.

Out of a list of fifteen different public figures, publications, national associations and politicians, only one endorsement – Colin Powell’s – would have a significant net positive impact on voters.
Twenty-eight percent (28%) say a Powell endorsement would make voters more likely to vote for a candidate, while making 19% less likely to vote for that candidate.
In fact, Rasmussen labeled Powell the "Most Valuable Endorsement".
Well Colin, it's time to step up. You haven't endorsed anyone yet. Time to do something bold to help change America for the better (and repair a small bit of the damage you did by supporting Bush's Iraq War.
And Obama, if you already have Powell's endorsement "in the bank", NOW is the time to release it! Don't wait till the final week! Let's get the Big Mo swining your way NOW!
