Colin Powell


Obama certainly has the momentum on his side. Colin Powell has just endorsed him for president. Powell, who was the only rational voice in the Bush administration early on (rational, though tragically mistaken). This is a way to make up for his mistakes.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell announced Sunday that he will break with his party and vote for Sen. Barack Obama. "He has both style and substance. I think he is a transformational figure," Powell said on NBC's Meet the Press.

"I come to the conclusion that because of his ability to inspire, because of the inclusive nature of his campaign, because he is reaching out all across America, because of who he is and his rhetorical abilities -- and you have to take that into account -- as well as his substance -- he has both style and substance," Powell said. "He has met the standard of being a successful president, being an exceptional president." Huffington Post
