Powell ready to jump on Obama bandwagon Telegraph.co.uk made clear that he is considering backing a Democrat to succeed his former boss, George W Bush ..... he has twice met Sen Obama, at the request of the White House hopeful .... "I'm going to support the best person that I can find who will lead this country." .... Powell was the first black secretary of state .... In 1995, Mr Powell was wooed by senior Democrats as well as Republicans who wanted him to run against Bill Clinton for the presidency in 1996. He eventually ruled it out because his wife did not wish him to become a target for racist assassins. Sen Obama, 45, has already received unspecified death threats. ...... Obama's links with Mr Powell as a sign that he wants to heal the divisions in American society. ..... "It's refreshing that we have a candidate that wants to craft a centrist policy that will reach out across party lines." ..... a poll of likely primary voters on Friday put Sen Obama on 32 per cent, only four points behind Sen Clinton, who last month led by 13 points. Other polls, which have featured more independent voters not certain to vote, have put Sen Obama level. ....... frustrated that his "Powell Doctrine" of military operations - that overwhelming force should be used but only with international support - which he developed after his experiences in Vietnam, was ignored in Iraq. ...... Sen Clinton still enjoys a lead over Sen Obama among black voters - though that gap has narrowed - and both candidates have sought to woo prominent blacks. ..... a black man who white America has found so non-threatening
