MANCHESTER, N.H. — Bill Bradley, a former presidential hopeful and senator, on Sunday endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president.
"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," Bradley said.
Obama also picked up the support Sunday of former Illinois Republican congressman and maverick independent presidential candidate John Anderson.
Bradley, a hall of fame professional basketball player, will campaign for Obama today, aides said.
Edwards says Clinton has "no conscience"
MANCHESTER, N.H. — The Clinton campaign slammed former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards as he brought new guests — the family of a young California woman who died after her health insurer denied coverage for a liver transplant — on the first stops of a 36-hour overnight bus tour that will lead him into primary day.
Edwards said Clinton and her advisers "have no conscience" after a Clinton aide suggested Edwards was using medical victims "as talking points" in his presidential bid.
"In order to be president, you need to do more than read articles about people who need help and talk about them," Clinton spokesman Jay Carson said.
In Saturday's televised debate from Manchester, Clinton acknowledged that Edwards helped the Senate pass a "patient bill of rights," but she noted that the measure died in the House. "One of the reasons that Nataline may well have died is because there isn't a patient's bill of rights," Clinton said in the debate.
On Sunday, she said her point was that Edwards "answered a question about what his greatest accomplishment was in the Senate by trying to mislead people that a bill he worked on became law."
Edwards, who placed second in Iowa and is trailing in the polls, went out of his way to assure New Hampshire voters Sunday that he will not quit the race if he fails to break through here.
"I am in this race for the long haul. I am in it through the convention and into the White House," he said.
