Bill Bradley to endorse Obama tomorrow in NH
I didn't see this posted, but this is a big and important endorsement.

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.

1. Nice, but...
...does anyone really care about who Bill Bradley endorses anymore, except for a handful of aging New York Knick fans?

4. That was mean.
When I started reading your post, I was thinking, "Yeah, I do." But I am an old and moldy Knicks fan.

Actually, Bill Bradley is one of the more intelligent and thoughtful people to serve in the US Senate in recent history. And he does still have the ability to communicate with us old folk, and not just sports fans. So it is a positive for Senator Obama's campaign.

5. We elderly voters, when we are not experiencing memory dysfunction or lost in senile dementia
On those rare good days, we care about Bill Bradley. But in an hour we may not. :shrug:
