Colin Powell's endorsement of the rookie Senator from Illinois came as no surprise to me.
As Bret Stephens editorialized in today's Wall Street Journal, Powell has always been a rather moderate Republican. Or, perhaps one should say, has been affiliated with Republicans. It's not so clear how wedded he's been to party principles, such as those may be.
What I find shocking is how Powell, a combat veteran with a career of senior military posts, including chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and Secretary of State, can actually claim to trust his endorsee on the subject of being fit to make Presidential decisions.
You'd think someone with Powell's experience would value it in others. And withhold his backing of a totally inexperienced candidate.
Which is what Obama is.
