Video of Powell Endorsement.

Here is the video of the endorsement and a little commentary from a political analyst/journalist whom I have found is fair and nonpartisan. I find his comments interesting.

"Powell hasn’t had much sway with Republicans for years now, seeming to split with the Bush administration in recent years, however, does Colin Powell have pull with independent voters? I’m not really certain since Powell was an Iraq war architect, arguably one of the most adamant voices making a case for the war. Seems to me that Powell went out of his way to defend Obama over Bill Ayers and rumors about Obama’s connection to Islam, a bit more than just a simple endorsement. It also seemed to be more of a repudiation of McCain’s prosecution of the campaign, Gov. Sarah Palin, and conservatism in the Republican Party than an endorsement of Obama’s policies, or so I saw as I watched. Powell praised Obama as a “transformative figure” but did not go into detail about policy or much else with regard to whether he agrees with Obama on policy." (Source)
