A 'surprise' announcement in New Hampshire on Tuesday at a breakfast with Dean might be the endorsement of former Senator and Presidential candidate Bill Bradley:

Howard Dean, whose presidential campaign has already won the backing of former vice president Al Gore, is planning a surprise visit to New Hampshire Tuesday in expectation of receiving the endorsement of the other leading Democratic contender from the 2000 race, former US senator Bill Bradley.

Democrats in New Hampshire and other parts of New England have been invited to a previously unscheduled appearance by Dean in Manchester for what is being billed as "a very special breakfast'' at which "a surprise endorsement is in store.''

Excellent.
