I finally watched it, James!
James (thelordduke) already posted this in his lj but I'd like to post it in mine as well, because I agree that it is an excellent video for people still trying to decide for whom they should vote. Here it is:

If you haven't watched it yet, I definitely recommend taking a look. It lasts all of seven minutes and struck an accord with my own reasoning for finally deciding on voting for Obama (I'm a moderate and have gone back and forth through the months, hesitating on making a final decision until about three weeks ago). General Powell spoke frankly, honestly, politely and intelligently and there's not enough of that going around during this election.
