(AP) Barack Obama snatched the crucial backing of former US Secretary of State Colin Powell, as the retired Army general crossed party lines and undermined Republican John McCain's claim that his opponent is not ready to command the US military.
"I think we need a transformational figure. I think we need a president who is a generational change and that's why I'm supporting Barack Obama, not out of any lack of respect or admiration for Senator John McCain," Mr Powell said on NBC television.
