He does deserve respect for his service.

There is a way to look at his endorsement charitably. He likely believes Obama will get elected. And his endorsement was clearly made as part of a deal whereby Powell would work for Obama - Obama's announcement today confirms that.

Everyone else would be retreads from the Carter-Clinton eras.
