Colin Powell backs Obama

12.13.00pm BST (GMT +0100) Mon 20th Oct 2008

Senator Barack Obama

Colin Powell has followed Colin Ross and Colin Dowse in supporting Barack Obama for the US Presidential election.

However Colin Powell's endorsement may carry slightly more weight being as he was a former Republican Secretary of State and longtime friend of McCain.

Powell described Barack Obama as a "transformational" figure who would "electrify the world," while describing the McCain campaign as petty and troubling.
