The Powell Endorsement Cometh?
By Jonathan Martin - (Politico)
Colin Powell will appear on Meet the Press Sunday, and First Read teases it in a way that suggests he may weigh in on the presidential race:
In an exclusive interview on Sunday, former Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell (Ret.) — who has been courted by both Obama and McCain — will break his recent silence and share his views on a variety of important issues in a live interview on Meet The Press this Sunday. Be sure to tune in…
It wouldn’t exactly be a profile in courage on Powell’s part to get behind Obama now, but it would help rehabiliate his post-Iraq image in some quarters. And it would be the sort of validating endorsement — Republican, military man, well-known elder statesman — that the Democrats would trumpet in the closing days of the campaign to assure voters that Obama is a “safe” pick.
