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 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.”

Kristol said sources told him Powell will “quite possibly” speak at the Democratic convention on the same night as Obama’s vice-presidential selection and former President Bill Clinton.

1. He still needs to explain his UN liefest and completely come clean about the inner

workings of the Bush/Cheney crime family or his endorsement means nothing.

2. Powell's spokesperson denies it and says Powell wont be at either convention. This is the right

setting up the big disappointment when it doesn't come through for Obama.

5. Yep--Kristol was trying to embarrass Obama, by forcing Powell to come

out and deny it.

9. You know it's bullshit when it's Kristol, Fox news and now Drudge pushing it. nt

4. It's a lie.

“For whatever reason I think he has decided he’s going to endorse Obama. I think has a high respect for Senator McCain, they go back a long way.”

Bill Kristol doesn't think.

6. That means the opposite is true.

It's nice having such consistent people like Kristol around.

I don't know. Powell seems like such a sad case to me. He coulda been a contender.
