Of course he was also the National Security Advisor to Bush's daddy. That's not a Washington insider, is it? And if Biden is such a damn expert on foreign policy, why bring in someone whose only expertise is foreign policy who has disagreed with Biden on most everything?
Absolutely not in any way politics as usual, right?

I like Powell, he is a great asset to Obama and I hope that he will be utilized as such.

Oh I like Powell as well, I just don't think saying this fits in with the "themes" of the Obama campaign very well.

I think it does, exactly because of what Kevin said. Powell didn't drink the kool-aid. He's not one of "them"

I don't know that I'd go that far either. He disagreed with the Bush administration on a number of things, but he anticipated being asked to stay on for at least part of the second term and according to his staff was planning to do so until Card (who was the President's chief of staff at the time) called him a few days after the reelection and told him the President would like to make a change at the position.
