Signs that Republican Colin Powell will support Barack Obama for president

By THOMAS M. DeFRANK

DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU CHIEF

WASHINGTON - After months of playing political Hamlet, Colin Powell is finally ready to tell America who he likes for President - and the smart money says Barack Obama is Powell's choice.

Sources close to the retired four-star general and American icon cautioned that Powell's support for Obama over John McCain might stop short of a formal endorsement when he's interviewed on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday.

Given Powell's cautious nature, he might decide to make his endorsement of Obama implied, rather than explicit. Even so, a well-informed source told the Daily News:

"After Sunday people aren't going to have any doubt who he's voting for."

Well what the hell — Colon Bowell might as well just appear on SNL to make his big announcement ... Oh yeah, Sarah Palin owns SNL this Saturday night (drawing record ratings for SNL).

Sorry General RINO Whatshisname — maybe you can get a gig on Meet the Depressed Sunday morning when moral folks are in church.

And JC Watts has said nothing about how he will vote, either.

Hannity has him on all the time, and he has made it clear (at least to me) who he's for in this election. He just uses a lot of words to say it, and never uses obama's name specifically. Obama is like a siren's song to them.
