It was odd enough when Mark McKinnon, a senior media adviser to John McCain who also led George W. Bush’s ad efforts in 2000 and 2004, said he’d back Barack Obama if he got the Democratic nomination. It’s even odder that Bush’s Secretary of State has advised Obama on foreign policy and is open to voting Democratic in 2008.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has sought out former Secretary of State Colin Powell for advice on foreign policy matters. […]
Powell said he has met twice with Obama, the Illinois senator.
Asked about how he plans to vote in 2008, the lifelong Republican would not commit to supporting the GOP nominee. “I’m going to support the best person that I can find who will lead this country for the eight years beginning in January of 2009,” Powell said.
It’s not exactly a vote of confidence in the Republican field, now is it?
