Colin Powell

[Caligirl]

Is Gen. Colin Powell getting ready to endorse Sen. Barack Obama on "Meet the Press" this Sunday? Two sources close to Powell, speaking on the condition of anonymity, predict that he will. On the record, a third, Ken Duberstein, a Washington lobbyist and former White House chief of staff, didn't flatly deny it. "You can say what you want," he told me, "but I didn't tell you that and neither did Powell."

Too bad for McCain, if it turns out to be true.

Why would anyone take Powell seriously>

Actually, he might endorse McCain.

He has already donated to McCain's campaign. Unfortunately, this will be viewed by the right as a bolster for the GOP ticket, but in reality it will have little effect if he endorses McCain.

If he endorses Obama, it will be screamed from the muntain tops by the Democrats and will still have little effect. I love Colin Powell, but he made himself politically impotent during the lead up to the second Gulf War.
