Kristol: Colin Powell to Endorse Barack Obama

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 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 still has “a high respect” for John McCain, Obama’s Republican rival.

Powell spokeswoman Peggy Cifrino strongly denied the report.

3. Well, you knew he wouldn't endorse Bush

THE CHOICE

4. I wish it were true, but his spokesperson denies it

It would provide some redemtion for what he has done, but ONLY if he does it at the Democratic convention

at least that would show some courage

It isn't going to happen

http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Colin_Powell_to_reportedly_endorse_Obama_0813.html

Retired Gen. Colin Powell, former Secretary of State under President George W. Bush, is to reportedly endorse Sen. Barack Obama.

Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol told FOX News of the endorsement on Thursday, and later, former national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski repeated the same claim, adding that Powell might even "potentially speak at the Democratic National Convention," per the Huffington Post.

Kristol cited inside sources, according to FOX, but a Powell spokesperson "strongly" denied the report, saying "there's absolutely no truth to it whatsoever."

8. Andrea Mitchell just debunked this. He is not endorsing anyone

and not going to any convention. He is going to weigh each candidate's views, look at their
VP pick and then decide who to pick. He may not even endorse later.
