Matt Lewis: Colin Powell to Endorse Obama

According to this he is . This is in some ways interesting, and in some ways to be expected. It is interesting because you might have assumed that Powell, a military guy and a Republican who also happens to be a political donor to McCain -- might stick with him. Aside from race, I think there is another similarity between Powell and Obama; the less you know about their political views, the more you like them. Powell clearly cares about his legacy and this is his way, perhaps, of redeeming himself to the media and insiders.

A Kristol Bluff?
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan —
I wouldn't be so sure about the Powell endorsement rumors. I'm with Ambers on this. It's too ballsy a move for Powell. I'm also inherently suspicious of Kristol's motives. If Powell were considering such an endorsement, Kristol would do all he can to derail it. Prematurely leaking it, creating a fire-storm and forcing Powell to deny is one way to pre-empt such a move. It's vital for the neocons to prevent Obama gaining traction with serious foreign policy machers.
But it makes sense in one obvious way: Powell understands how deep a
hole the US is in ...

And his spokesperson strongly denies the report.
It's true that the Obama campaign is trying to line up some high-profile Republicans, but I do not think Powell will be one of them.
