Colin Powell might endorse Obama



Retired Gen. Colin Powell, once considered a potential running mate for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), now may endorse his opponent, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), according to Republican sources. But an air of mystery surrounds Powell's planned live appearance Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," and no one is sure what he will say.

Powell’s unassailable national security credentials could sway voters who are vacillating about whether Obama is ready to be commander in chief, and his endorsement of the Illinois senator would make a national security emphasis by McCain in the election's closing days extremely difficult.



Colin Powell might endorse Obama

I actually first heard about this on FOX news this afternoon. The FOX news insider said that most likely Powell will endore Obama because he could see no other reason why Powell would be on Meet The Press this weekend.
Also the FOX insider said that if Powell does endore Obama it will be a complete game changer and would probably prove fatal to the McCain campaign.
I only tend to watch FOX for very small time spans through out the day, just to get a glimpse at the other side so I can try to a well rounded stance on the situation. Seems as of today at least FOX news has a different tone, they seem to be saying that the race is over, it is really strange coming from such a conservative station.
They don't seem to be happy about it but seems they are throwing in the towel just the same.
Any comments?
