While the Federal Liberals took a step further into the leadership void today, political junkies can fall back on some good news south of the border. The big news out of the US this weekend was the unequivocable endorsement of the Obama campaign by Gen. Colin Powell.
In the words of the former Secretary of State, Barack Obama is "a 'transformational figure' who has reached out to all Americans with an inclusive campaign and displayed 'a steadiness, an intellectual curiosity' and 'a depth of knowledge' in his approach to the nation's problems."
The Guardian has a great video compilation, audio clip and coverage of the announcement. Or you can watch Powell's complete endorsement via YouTube here:
