Breaking News: Bradley '65 to endorse Obama
ABC News reported late Saturday night that former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley '65 will endorse Illinois Sen. Barack Obama on Monday in his quest for the Democratic nomination.
A source close to the former Princeton basketball star told ABC the NBA hall of famer waited to endorse Obama until after the Iowa Caucus because he wanted to see how former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards finished. Edwards' 30 percent in last Thursday's contest was second to Obama's 38 percent. The 2004 vice presidential candidate narrowly beat out New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, who finished third with 29 percent.
Bradley ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2000, losing to former Vice President Al Gore. Bradley lost to Gore 50 percent-46 percent in that year's New Hampshire Democratic Primary.
