One doesn't tend to enjoy getting one's facts from the editor of the Weekly Standard speaking on Fox News -- that's one too many diehard conservative sources for comfort -- but William Kristol says Colin Powell will endorse Obama, and maybe give a speech at the convention:

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 [Powell] has a high respect for Senator McCain, they go back a long way... This is not an absolute done deal, but these people are very confident that Powell will endorse Obama.


Did John McCain just lose the support of a whole lot of moderate Republicans?

UPDATE: Powell's spokesman denies it.
