Obama And Clinton

I tried not to enjoy the Obama Campaign rally featuring Hillary Clinton today, but I must confess that I did, just a little. The banter between the two former rivals was funny and seemed spontaneous. Clinton poked fun at her age by highlighting her many years of public service suggesting that somebody should say that that she did appear that old. The Obama rally was symbolically held in Unity, New Hampshire. Unity is just what the Democratic Party is seeking, and exactly why Hillary Clinton appeared with Obama at the rally. Polls and pundits alike agree that the Dems have a long way to go to achieve that unity. Many former Clinton supporters say that they are still going to vote for John McCain this fall. I think that Clinton speech today will go a long way towards bringing many of her supporter holdouts into the Obama camp. Undoubtedly, this will not be her final effort to help Obama, as Clinton will likely be very visible in the coming months. She seemed genuinely upset when she told the crowd that there have only been three Democrats elected President in the last forty years. Two of those were her hubby Bill Clinton. Where was good old "Slick Willy" anyway today? He probably still can't come to terms that Obama derailed the Clinton machine and won the Nomination. Obama and his wife symbolically donated 2300$ to the Clinton Campaign to help offset the millions that her campaign is in debt. Obama also promised to help Clinton with much more of the financial hole she is in, which should be worth a few stump speeches by her, on his behalf. Seeing the way Clinton has been over the last few months has really got me thinking. Clinton herself must also realize the fact that if she was loose and natural like she has been of late all along, she would be the nominee. I still would not vote for her though.
