The endorsement game pauses for no one, and Barack Obama just picked up a big one in New Jersey.

From PolitickerNJ.com:

Senate President Richard Codey is expected to endorse Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination, according to sources close to Codey, who had served as New Jersey Chairman of John Edwards’ campaign.
More from the brief article:

Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy, co-chair of the Obama Campaign, said he had not heard directly from Codey that the Senate President intends to endorse Obama, but said he believes what he's hearing from other sources about an official announcement on Thursday.

"I'm hearing the same things you're hearing," said Healy. "It's a terrific endorsement, and it's very important."
Richard Codey also served as Governor of New Jersey from 2004 through 2006, and then again last year when Governor Corzine was incapacitated in his car accident. Clearly, he should be a well-known, and hopefully influential, name in the state. For more background on Codey, click here.

I'll update this more as more comes in, but this is one that should make Hillary sweat in her back yard!

1. A nice endorsement, but JRE himself is the obvious prize this week.
