Bill Bradley to Back Barack Obama on Monday
Bill Bradley to Back Barack Obama

January 05, 2008 11:54 PM

ABC News' Karen Travers Reports: Former Sen. Bill Bradley will endorse Sen. Barack Obama in New Hampshire on Monday, ABC News has learned.

A source close to the senator said that he has waited until now to endorse because he wanted to give former Sen. John Edwards a shot in Iowa first.

Bradley is a former Democratic senator from New Jersey and ran for his party's nomination in 2000, losing to former Vice President Al Gore.

A high-level Obama campaign staffer confirmed the endorsement late Saturday night on the condition of anonymity.

Not impressed, just another hanger-on hopping on the bus he think will get to Pennsylvania Avenue.

7. If one dude can cause you to 're-evaluate'
you were never there to begin with.

Take a better look at all of their positions, proposals, etc. and base your support on who better represents what you believe in -- not just because some basketball playing politician sways your opinion.

12. Too many beers or just drunk on Obamamania?
Cuz your reply made no sense at all. You have a point to make - make it. Obtuse jabs are just the sign of a lazy mind.

8. I think after he endorsed Dean last time and Dean lost, he's being very cautious.

9. How come all thse status-quo types are for Obama? That
.doesnt particularly speak well for Obama as far as I'm concerned...
I think Obama is a lot more centrist than is known.

11. Hillary has most of the democratic status-quo endorsements in NH, not Obama
But it's great news that Bradley will give him a late endorsement, almost any endorsements are a good thing.

17. If we get away from the Beltway snobbery that experience outside DC doesn't count
we can see that Obama has a solid record of accomplishment in Illinois.

Only the Beltway mentality looks down on us folks that live outside the stratefied air of DC.
