TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- Gov. James E. McGreevey plans to endorse Howard Dean for president and has asked state Democrats to begin campaigning for the former Vermont governor, state Democratic officials said Tuesday.
Officials said McGreevey's endorsement, which he plans to announce Friday, is part of a broader push by Dean to gain backing of Democratic governors and other party leaders.
McGreevey had planned to meet with Wesley Clark this week, but that meeting was canceled.
``The governor will make an endorsement when he feels its appropriate,'' spokesman Micah Rasmussen said Tuesday.
