Senator Bill Bradley strongly endorses for NJ Senate Cory Booker [View all]

Bill Bradley strongly endorses Cory Booker
(if one goes to Cory Booker for senate website, standing right next to him is former Senator Bill Bradley, who ran a noble, but unsuccessful campaign for President in 2000 that was 100% endorsed by Paul Wellstone.
If one recalls 2000, had Bradley won the nomination, it is quite likely he would have picked Paul Wellstone for his VP.)

Bradley, who endorsed Booker, called him “the right person for the right office at the right time.”

Booker began raising money for a Senate run even before Lautenberg, who died Monday, announced retirement plans in February. He had raised $1.9 million by the end of the last reporting period in March
