Exactly what set of voters that Obama doesn't already have does a Powell endorsement bring? I was more impressed to see the Salt Lake Tribune come out for Obama now if the Manchester Union-Leader were ever to follow suit my head might assplode.

"Still, we have compelling reasons for endorsing Obama on his merits alone. Under the most intense scrutiny and attacks from both parties, Obama has shown the temperament, judgment, intellect and political acumen that are essential in a president that would lead the United States out of the crises created by President Bush, a complicit Congress and our own apathy."
I can't imagine a liberal newspaper surviving in Salt Lake City. I think Utah is the reddest state in the union. I was also shocked to see this endorsement.
