Is it over?
John McCain must be having one of his worst days during the campaign. George Bush's Secretary of State from 2001 to 2005, Colin Powell, has endorsed Barack Obama only days before the presidential election. Powell's decision comes in the best time it could for the Obama campaign, which now has all in its favor to win the election in November. Obama raised more than $150 million USD just in September and has enough resources to buy advertisements in key states and quickly answer to any attacks from the Republican candidate, who has limited monetary resources as he chose to have his campaign financed with public money. Obama decided not to take public money for his campaign so there are no limits in the amounts that can be donated to his campaign.

The poor state of the economy, the terrible choice McCain made of choosing the inexperienced (that may be a very soft word to define her) Sarah Palin, and the continuous attacks the Republicans make on the person of Obama, while not focusing on explaining their position on the real issues they would face in office, have paved the way for Senator Barack Obama to become the next president of the United States, who in Colin Powells words "would be a transformational president".
