Colin Powell endorses Barack Obama for President
2008 October 19
In an interview with Tom Brokaw on Meet The Press, Colin Powell, the former Secretary of State under the Bush administration from 2001 to 2005, publicly announced an endorsement of Barack Obama for President.
Colin Powell said he questioned Sen. John McCain’s judgment in picking Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate because he doesn’t think she is ready to be president.
That, my friends, could very well be the final nail in the coffin for the McCain campaign as they’ve been seeing a steady downward slope in their poll ratings. The latest NYT/CBS poll has McCain at 36% and Obama at 53%.
