Colin Powell Endorses Obama

One of the most respected figures in America has waded into the current presidential campaign by endorsing the Democratic parties nominee for President. From CNN:

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell announced Sunday that he will be voting for Sen. Barack Obama, citing the Democrat's "ability to inspire" and the "inclusive nature of his campaign."

During the campaign, Powell has met with both candidates and said he has a lot of respect for McCain. He said Sunday that he thinks both candidates are qualified to be president.

It's hard to say if this will change the race in any significant way this late in the game. Being the cynic that I am I doubt this will change the race in any way. It makes headlines but I would think most people already have an idea of who they are voting for this late in the game.
