Colin Powell Endorses Obama

Colin Powell, President Bush’s former secretary of state and a former chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, said on Meet the Press that he is voting for Obama.

Beyond endorsing Barack Obama, Powell also said, with regard to Sarah Palin, "I don't believe she is ready to be President of the United States, which is the job of the Vice President."



He also said Obama would Be A "Transformational President."

In the meantime, Obama's lead in the polls is shrinking, with some polls showing almost a dead heat.
