Will the real Colin Powell please stand up

There has been a lot of talk about Colin Powell supporting Senator Obama in the presidential election (apparently they met in mid-June). As Jim Geraghty reports at the Campaign Spot, he has a lot to gain from endorsing Obama. I disagree, however that Obama has so much to gain. According to Geraghty:

The questions surrounding Obama - experience, accomplishments, familiarity with the military and national security issues, connection to middle-American values - are all Powell's strengths. If the retired general and former Secretary of State says Obama will do okay as commander-in-chief, a lot of Americans will exhale with relief.

Just because the former Sectetary of State says Obama will do fine, doesn't make it so. He has absolutely no executive experience, limited National experience (of the three years he has been a U.S. Senator, he has spent two of them running for president.) and pretty much no foreign policy experience. A nod from Powell is just that and nothing more.

The real question is will Mr. Powell continue to support John McCain. He donated the maximum to the McCain campaign in August of last year.
