according to Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC's Morning Joe program this morning. The rumor (and that's all it is right now) is that Colin Powell will officially endorse Barack Obama for President. I'd read rumblings online for a while, but didn't really expect him to jump in.
I'm not sure what kind of affect his endorsement would have. As a general rule, I don't usually believe endorsements have much sway at all, but there aren't many people in this country anymore who are as widely respected as Colin Powell. Given Colin Powell's reputation and the amount of respect he has around the country, this could be a factor for those voters who don't trust Obama in foreign policy matters.
Maybe the Obama'ites have seen the tightening in the latest polls and are getting nervous??
We shall see what happens...
