(CNN) - Former Reagan chief of staff Ken Duberstein told CNN's Fareed Zakaria this week he intends to vote for Democrat Barack Obama on Tuesday.
Duberstein said he was influenced by another prominent Reagan official – Colin Powell – in his decision.
"Well let's put it this way – I think Colin Powell's decision is in fact the good housekeeping seal of approval on Barack Obama."
Powell served as national security advisor to Reagan during Duberstein's tenure as chief of staff.
Duberstein spoke with Zakaria about his final days in the Reagan White House. The Reagan official, along with Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and Carter National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, also discussed the transition process to a new administration.
Watch the full discussion on the next administration this Sunday at 1 p.m. on Fareed Zakaria GPS.

"and the hits just keep on coming!"
This is what is going to happens in the united states of obama. Reporters cast away , tv stations order to turn off, web pages remove. we might have only one tv channel the obama channel.? His past actions let me believe that this country is going to be turn to a socialist system against our will.
Well done Mr. Ken Duberstein!
Yes this nation needs new leadership and new direction.
That can be only happen if we elect OBAMA
GOD BLESS THE USA !
Welsom aboard thanks for Obama vote. I am glad that you see a man that can shape this country back to a place of peace.
Smart guy. Reagan's Chief of Staff, eh?
Nice to see the Republicans rallying for the Obama-Biden ticket!
just another turncoat that fell for the "good speeches" of the false prophet. sickening. nauseating.
Now it sounds like Senator Obama is the one who can cross the floor and work with all Party's! Also, they will cross the floor to work with him.
Intelligent and Diplomacy, sounds like Presidential stuff to us!
YES. Another Republican sees the writing on the wall.
VOTE EARLY and encourage and demand others to do so as well. We cannot let the GOP pull a hat trick with 3 stolen election come Tuesday night!!!
You can't say this one is based on race!
Thank you, Mr. Duberstein.
at this point i think satan and jesus would both endorse obama. Mccain may be able to be president, but I think all of "joes" just don't TRUST palin. I already shaved my head bald because I was sick of pulling my hair out whenever i heard her annoying voice!
GET RID OF OBAMA BEFORE IT's TOO LATE!
He is a megalomaniac who thinks he is God on Earth!
Please do your homework then think, and you are rational, you will see that Obama is the better man for the job!
Another Republican putting country first and politics second. Way to go!
i guess there are some smart republicans left. i honor their patriotism and bi-partisanship.
Drip, drip, drip! I can't wait until November 4. I hope Obama will place some Republicans in his cabinet. It would be a great start. I am a democrat, but we are all Americans and the President's cabinet should represent diversity.
Obama/Biden '08...the only choice for me
The sound you are hearing is the wind storm of Republicans moving over to vote for the BEST chance for the USA to move back out of the gutter that it is in.
here we go again! 🙂
Wow, repubs are jumping ship like scared rats! Go Obama Go! There is nothing wrong with being a repentant Republican!
Obama/Biden '08
McCain's response to this endorsement... Mike Dicka.
If the polls are right, and Barack is elected, I can quit my job.
I can't wait to see all of my countrymen, leading some of the most miserable lives and spending such a meager existence in the lamest country and society in history, have all of their hopes realized by electing the smartest, most intelligent, most eloquent campaigner of all time.
Everyone will get a cell phone, cable and a computer. And if we really work at it, everyone can have a car too so they can realize the freedom to travel this great country that was taken away by those evil Republicans.
Way to go!
DANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG Talk about a BLOW swishhhhh can't you here the wind?
How amazing and wonderful that so many people from both parties have endorsed Obama. Truly reaching across the aisles!
Do any prominent Dem's back McCain? Just curious...
