I don't think he will endorse Obama. If he does, he would basically be saying he was wrong about the war in Iraq and such. After having much success in his career, I just don't think that's the way he'll go out.


He was wrong about the war... you know it, I know it and so does he! Why do you think he stepped down and dont be so sure he wont endorse obama... In my opinion this would be his vindication..:banana:

he has endorsed Obama
a big surprise
I say no

after the WMD fiasco and Bush leaving him out on a limb, why should he stay loyal to a party that has royally screwed him?

Colin Powell, who was secretary of state in the Bush administration, broke with his party Sunday to offer a stunning and powerfully worded endorsement to Senator Barack Obama's presidential candidacy.

Powell, a retired general, described Obama as a "transformational figure."

"He has both style and substance," Powell said in an appearance on NBC. "Obama has displayed a steadiness; showed intellectual vigor. He has a definitive way of doing business that will do us well."
