First Lincoln Chafee, then Jim Leach, now this:

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell will endorse Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention, Weekly Standard Publisher Bill Kristol told FOX News exclusively on Thursday.

“He may well give a speech at the Democratic convention explaining his endorsement of Obama,” Kristol said, citing inside sources. “For whatever reason I think he has decided he’s going to endorse Obama. I think [Powell] has a high respect for Senator McCain, they go back a long way.”

Kristol continued, “This is not an absolute done deal, but these people are very confident that Powell will endorse Obama.”

I know I'm shocked.  An African-American man who is liberal on social issues and thinks Iraq is a mess is endorsing Obama?  It must be the end times.  It seems to me that a good way to quell this chatter would be for Powell to either endorse Sen. McCain or publicly deny Obama his endorsement.

(In fairness, his spokeswoman did deny the report.)
