Barack Obama may have gotten the support of Dick Codey today, the most popular politician in New Jersey, but two other prominent Edwards supporters have gone the Clinton route.

Senate Majority Leader Stephen Sweeney and State Sen. Joseph Vitale announced their support for Clinton in a conference call today, burnishing their respective organized labor and health care credentials. They were joined by Mike Beson, the Edwards campaign state director

Vitale, who chairs the Health and Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee, said that Clinton has the best plan to provide universal health care.

3. Hillary's plan is good. It's basically a copy of Edwards' plan. You'd have to go into the...

details to find differences between the two, but we're not weighing plans based on originality as opposed to trying to get it right in an environment where political considerations also factor into the equation of "what we can do" vs. "what or who is blocking the way."
