| Description | Former Secretary of State Colin Powell has endorsed Barack Obama for President of the United States.
The move is a huge boost for Mr Obama as Mr Powell served under current President George Bush during his first term.
He was also talked about as a possible running mate for Mr Obama's Republican rival John McCain.
The news came as it was revealed that Mr Obama raised more than $150m (£87m) for his campaign in September, breaking the record of $66m (£38m) he set the previous month. |
