As much as Powell was wrong about Iraq War, he is still a very knowledgeable man about foreign affairs. And I'm sure there are things that Dems agree with Powell on (like closing Gitmo, engaging with Iran and Syria).
Just because Obama is receiving advice from him (and I bet many others) about foreign affairs does not mean that Obama will ultimately listen and follow all his advice. Wouldn't you want your President (regardless of who it is) to receive various viewpoints and advice before ultimately making the decision.
Bill Clinton used Republicans for advice (Powell, David Gergen) and I think it was beneficial for his administration. If you want Dems to associate only with hardcore Dems, than you are no more different than George W.
