Criticizing his own Republican Party for what he called its narrow focus on irrelevant personal attacks over a serious approach to challenges that he called unprecedented, Powell, who was considered for many years the most likely candidate to become the first African-American president, told NBC''s "Meet the Press" that he was not supporting Obama because of his race.

According to the Washington Post, Powell will appear this Sunday on "Meet the Press" and there is a possibility of him endorsing Obama. The question doing the rounds is how much is Powell''s endorsement really worth?
