Republicans for Obama
Seems that the senator from Illinois is rapidly developing a following among Republicans disenchanted with their own party's candidates.

In fact, one of the fastest growing campaign websites is Republicans for Obama, which presently counts chapters in 11 states, including Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania and Colorado.

And now comes word that Republican Colin Powell may join the Obama for President groundswell.

The retired 4-star Army General and beleaguered Secretary of State under George W. Bush revealed that he's quietly been providing Sen. Obama with advice on foreign affairs. When asked yesterday on NBC's Meet the Press if he will support the Republican candidate in 2008, Powell cagily replied:

I’m going to support the best person that I can find who will lead this country for the eight years beginning in January 2009."

"Obama has the potential to appeal to Republican voters the way Reagan appealed to Democrats, and that the emergence of a group like Republicans for Obama... should be taken 'as a real signal, and not aberrational.'

"He offers his own anecdotal evidence: 'Last week, I asked three Republican friends of mine, 'If you had to send a check to someone right now, who would it be?' And they all said: 'Obama.' So. That's interesting.' "
