Just endorsed Barrak Obama.
It looks like Powell decided on Obama around convention time but recently decided to come public with his support in large part due to McCain's negative attacks on Obama, particularly his attempt to link Obama to terrorism while fanning internet rumors that he was a Muslim. Powell said that the world needed to see a US that accecpted all citizens as Americans and did not vilify Muslims.
I thought his analysis was powerfull and really hurt McCain
