FLASH: COLIN POWELL ENDORSES SEN. BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT

GENERAL COLIN POWELL (Ret.) SPEAKING ON NBC'S "Meet the Press":
[On Barack Obama]:
paraphrased, except where quotes are included.
"He has a definitive way of doing business that would serve us well."

The McCain campaign "has become narrower and narrower"

"This Bill Ayers thing has gone on for weeks."

I am uncomforable with the direction that some Republicans are taking language in this campaign. --Such as, "You know that he's a Muslim."
He's not a Muslim. He's a Christian.

I'm troubled that within the party we have all these people making these statements.

Barack Obama has the ability to inspire, he has led an inclusive campaign,
he has the rhetorical capabilities, which I think matter,
He is a transformational figure.

For that reason I'll be voting for Barack Obama.
