Sources say former Secretary of State Colin Powell will endorse Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol told FOX News exclusively on Thursday.
“He may well give a speech at the Democratic convention explaining his endorsement of Obama,” Kristol m a FOX News contributor, said, citing inside sources.
“This is not an absolute done deal, but these people are very confident that Powell will endorse Obama,” Kristol said, adding that he thinks Powell, a Republican, still has “a high respect” for John McCain, Obama’s Republican rival.
Powell immediately denied the report.
“I do not have time to waste on Bill Kristol’s musings,” Powell told ABC News. “I am not going to the convention. I have made this clear.”
Roll Call executive editor Mort Kondracke, also a FOX News contributor, said he personally has spoken with Powell, who denied the report and said he has made no endorsement decisions, according to Kondracke......."

No surprise.
He's always been a Trojan Horse in the Republican Party.

This is no suprise to me, if true. This guy is one of the biggest reasons we had to deal with Saddam again in 2003 when we should have deposed him in 91.

Rumor probably floated by Obama campaign. I'll believe it when I hear from Powell, not from the MSM.

I have always thought Colin Powell was greatly over rated. Now, I know he was.
