Colin Powell on Obama
This endorsement has McCain, Republicans worried
Washington, DC., As the two major party’s prepare their best stuff for the fall encounter endorsements are mostly going and coming from expected people and places. There is one, however, that keeps Republicans up late at night – Retired General and former Secretary of State Colin Powell. Rumors are running rampant in and out of the Beltway that this endorsement is imminent. Look for it to come but at a time when it will be of most value, like say right after both parties conventions which should be around Labor Day (the old general election kickoff day). If it’s a nip and tuck race this one endorsement will be huge and if it’s a yawner it will still be huge for Obama. Even though Powell lost some of his national luster in the aftermath of the “rush to war” he still has loads of military and foreign affairs credibility and after the way he was ushered out of the Bush administration shares a little less love for the party he served so well following his service as head of the military leadership.
