From International Herald Tribune:

Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell has time for any presidential candidate who wants to chat about foreign policy. He has money, though, only for Republican candidate John McCain.

Powell has shared his military and diplomatic expertise in meetings with other presidential hopefuls, Democrat Barack Obama and Republican Rudy Giuliani, his spokeswoman, Peggy Cifrino, said Tuesday. A planned meeting with Republican Mitt Romney earlier this year was postponed due to bad weather.

But when it comes to sharing his money, Powell chose McCain, the Republican senator from Arizona.

While not meant as an endorsement, Powell’s $2,300 (€1,690) contribution last week gave a bit of needed cachet to McCain’s struggling campaign.
