Bill Kristol says his sources are telling him that Colin Powell will be endorsing Barack Obama, and may even speak on his behalf at the Democratic National Convention. This doesn’t come as a major shock, but it should certainly help Obama among independents. Powell would also be a useful surrogate to make the case that Obama is up to the job of being commander in chief.
UPDATE: Powell’s spokeswoman pours cold water on the idea:
“There’s absolutely no truth to it whatsoever,” Cifrino told FOXNews.com. “Colin Powell will not be at either convention. There’s absolutely no truth to this.”
