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, he’s just come out of the closet is all.
The whole Obama experience has really woken me up. I would never vote for someone based on the color of their skin. Guess that’s not the same with AFRICAN Americans

It has nothing to do with foreign policy because Powell to a lib is known as the Water-boy War-hawk for President Bush and VP Cheney.
POWELL FOR DEM VP?
Time for a Colinectomy.
Always on my mind is the fact that Congress-critters name most of the candidates that make it into our service academies.
Colin Powell give the max to McCain last year:
POWELL, COLIN L THE HON
MCLEAN,VA 22101
SELF-EMPLOYED/SPEAKER
8/8/07
$2,300 McCain, John (R)
Nothing since then though.
Powell has been the turd in the punchbowl for over a decade,
I WOULD note for someone with blonde hair though
good riddance. If Obama wins lets purge the rest of the rinos out too.
It won’t surprise me if Colon speaks in Denver. He is much more like the vapid politicians that will assemble there than the (mostly) vapid politicians who will assemble in Minneapolis.
Fair point and well said. Though it speaks volumes that none of us find this impossible to believe.
Same here...
Take that you dolts that wanted Powell as our nominne or veep just because he was black and had an R next to his name. (waiting for the Condi shoe to drop)
That’s what happens when you make decisions without principles.
Because he maxed out? Something isn't right with this. I just don't buy it. He donates the max to McCain and has always campaigned for Republicans.. Nope, not going to buy a MSM rumor based on sources of sources of sources until I hear it from the horses' mouth.
It will look like that to most Americans, regardless of his reasoning.
