Bill Bradley Endorses Barack Obama

Bill Bradley, a formal presidential candidate and U.S. Senator, has announced this morning that he is endorsing Barack Obama.  He will be in New Hampshire on Monday to campaign for Obama says an Obama spokesman.  He hopes to bring in supporters from Independents and Republicans.

A statement made recently quotes Bradley saying "Barack Obama is building a broad new coalition that brings together Democrats, Independents, and Republicans by once again making idealism a central focus of our politics…Because of his enormous appeal to Americans of all ages and backgrounds, Obama is the candidate best positioned to win in November.  Barack knows above all that unless people can once again believe in our democracy, we won’t be able to do the things that need to be done on health care and education or to break our dependence on foreign oil.  His movement for change could create a new era of American politics – truly a new American story."
