Bill Bradley, a former presidential hopeful and senator, planned to endorse Barack Obama for president on Sunday aides said. Bradley, a hall of fame professional basketball player, will campaign on Monday for Obama, Obama aides told The Associated Press. The aides, speaking on condition of anonymity in advance of the formal announcement, said they hope the endorsement will help Obama end the national front- runner status for Clinton, who placed a disappointing third in Iowa's caucuses last week and is deadlocked with Obama in New Hampshire according to a poll released Saturday. '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 in a statement scheduled to be released on Sunday.
