Colin Powell in Obama camp?

ABC News's Dianne Sawyer asked Powell what he made of "relative lack of experience" at the national level, when it comes to envisioning the political phenom as president.

"He doesn't have experience at the senior levels of national government. But I've seen other individuals come along who didn't have that breadth of experience and what they do is surround themselves with people who do bring that experience.

"With Sen. Obama, he didn't have a lot of experience running a presidential campaign, did he? But he seems to know how to organize a task and he seems to know how to apply resources to a problem at hand. So that gives me some indication that (with) his inexperience in foreign affairs or domestic affairs, he may be someone who can learn quickly."

Also... Powell gets it on the Wright issue and Obama's response.

But conservatives will probably just get annoyed with him like they got annoyed with Condoleeza Rice for getting it.
