Obama and Clinton to Campaign in Unity
Jun 23rd 2008 1:52PM
Filed Under:eHillary Clinton, Democrats, Barack Obama, Breaking News, 2008 President
FRIDAY: Senators Clinton and Obama to Campaign Together in Town of Unity, New HampshireThat's a nice bit of symmetry there. This will be an important event to watch.
Candidates received 107 votes apiece in Granite State town
CHICAGO, IL- Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Barack Obama announced today that they will hold a "Unite for Change" Rally this Friday in Unity, New Hampshire. Both candidates received exactly 107 votes in the western New Hampshire town in the primary.
The Obama campaign sent out the following press release this morning, via email:

Chicago, IL – Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton announced today that they will campaign together on Friday, June 27th. Further details to be announced soon.That's it, that's the whole thing. Remember, you heard it here first.
Why the tease? That's not the usual MO. Does this portend, um, I don't know, a (echo-y voice) DREAM TICKET?!?!?
Time will tell, but you can keep checking back here for details as they are released. At the very least, their first stump appearance together will give us some clues.
Since the noise from the "Den-ver, Den-ver!" set has died down, the urgency for Obama to announce a running mate is pretty much gone. As long as he is doing so well against McCain, he's much better off waiting until the convention. There's no sense in wasting a bounce when he doesn't need one.

Hence, there's not much chance of a "Dream Ticket" announcement coming next Friday, but I will be interested to see if Hillary Clinton goes after McCain like he's a pit bull trainer in a suit made of pork chops.
Falling short of that doesn't necessarily mean that she's taking a dive so she can run in Aught-twelve, as many cynics think. Obama is campaigning very strongly now on policies, so it might just mean that they're waiting to see the whites of his eyes before they unleash hell.
Either way, it figures to be some kind of fun, especially when Hillary walks past the "Den-ver! Den-ver!" contingent and has to kind of shush them. AWK-ward!
Update: Before you make a comment here, check out Wonkette's take on this, and go yell at them. Or just copy and paste it both places.
My favorite part was this:
As we type this, Keith Olbermann is furiously scribbling a 45-minute Special Comment about how Barack Obama has ruined America and Democracy, and has he no sense of decency Sir, &c., while simultaneously wanking into an old sock.

(Page 1 of 8)Friends of BO2:22PMJun 23rd 2008
Come join us.
Please join us at one of our weekly Friends of BO meetings. We don't talk about the issues, we just talk about BO. We share about how we came to "have BO". For instance after a particularly hard day's work one fellow went to a meeting and discovered he had "found BO". We call it "having" BO. We go to our meetings and affirm to each other "You have BO". Once you "have BO" you will always "have BO" and there is no way to stop it. You will enjoy having BO and the company of others who have BO. Soon people without BO will seem strange and foreign to you. BO is the most wonderful thing to have.
Join us.
For more info on BO contact one of the many BO supporters here and elsewhere in the blogosphere, although we are right here and there is lots of BO right here on aol political machine (soon to be BO politcal machine) for your convenience, willing to share our BO experience and make our BO your BO.
Thank you.

Another troubling thing is, why is the Jewish population embracing him? Why isn’t there more discussion in our churches and synagogues? Israel is terrified that he might win the election. But most of the big money people in the Jewish community are embracing him and giving money hand over fist.
Am I crazy or does anyone else think that this might be the beginning of the end of our time on this earth?
VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN.
Katherine2:26PMJun 23rd 2008
Even if it's not the Dream Ticket, here's what it will look like:
Lots of supposedly happy for unity people in the crowd.
Obama and Hillary will talk about how they had bumps in the road, but that it's time to unite because their differences "pale in comparison to the republicans."
They will hug. They will hold hands. A lot. And smile at one another a lot.
Hillary will talk about how she always promised there would either be the first woman or first african-american as president.
She WILL mention John McCain this time.
Then, at the end--they will clasp hands and raise them in the air and do that victory pose.
Maybe there will be confetti.
----------------------------
Onward: Obama will continue to ignore those he has before, and fail to connect with them, and it will be Hillary's burden to unite the party, and draw in her voters.
Then, the Republicans will somehow destroy this new beginning of supposed unity with some horrible bombshell between now and Nov.
Hillary will get blamed.
OBAMA=SERIAL LIAR2:34PMJun 23rd 2008
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA NEVER FOCUSES ON TERRORISM OR HOW TO PREVENT IT.
OBAMA ONLY “TALKS” ABOUT GETTING OUT OF THE WAR.
HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT’S GOING ON OR HOW TO HANDLE IT.
THIS MAN IS INEXPERIENCED. WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR CHILD, WHO HAS A LEARNER’S PERMIT, A MAC TRUCK TO DRIVE ACROSS COUNTRY?
THIS MAN IS DANGEROUS. HE WILL DESTROY US FROM WITHIN.
He and all the Democrats and media are not giving the citizens of America the truth about this war and how great it is going.
We have accomplished too much or should I say our wonderful soldiers and commanders!
Thank you to them, and every time Obama opens his mouth about Iraq War and Bush administration I want to throw up! The damage to our confidence for some has been overwhelming and I don’t get the reason for Obama’s arrogance when it comes to the very core of what our country is about. He least of all show speak of Leadership being in a anti-government and racist church. Nothing he can say or do is taken serious vote or no vote by me!
The liberals are in denial and this is beyond the war, it is drilling, and the fact that they want government in our lives and raise taxes for their ridiculous programs. They will contradict and be divisive at every turn and some are Believing It!
THE OBAMA, ALONG WITH THE DNC AND THE BIASED MEDIA STOLE THE CANDIDACY FROM HILLARY.
VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN IN 2008.
Katherine2:36PMJun 23rd 2008
Oh, I forgot. All the polls and liberal news will say that the democrats are totally united. No matter what.
Obama will continue to make huge blunders on the trail and Hillary will be there to clean up his mess.
If there is a nightmare ticket: Hillary will do all of the work, get none of the credit or respect due, and she will be blamed for every mistake Obama makes.
KittyCanCan2:37PMJun 23rd 2008
She needs to be getting more than confetti and a hand-holding from him if you know what i'm saying girlfriends.
After what he put her through!
Obama isn't much to look at, but if he keeps the expensive suit on and gargles so he doesn't smell like cigarettes he may be okay. He's no Usher, that's for sure. You know she isn't getting any from Bill.
You know if that gay boy got him some and you saw how he looks, then you know Obama is givin it up.
Hillary needs some good lovin. It's not fair for Oprah to be getting it all. I know Oprah can afford to make a 100,000K donation every time, but girl, let the other ladies have a chance.

A PROTEST VOTE INDEPENDENT ALTERNTIVE!
The Question was once asked of where do I sign up for the New Era Non-Partisan-Independent Movement. Well that point in it ultimate party hasn't been reached.
But, the good news for those who WILL NOT VOTE, for the B***H! (D-NY) US/Senator Hillary Diane Rodham-Clinton, OR, the Black-Afro-American Presumptive Democratic Nominee (D-IL) Barrack "Barry" Hussein Obama, or "THE DREAM TEAM", and really don't want to vote against your own interests by voting for the Presumptive Republican Nominee (R-AZ) US/Senator John Sydney McCain III, THERE IS ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE!
A PROTEST ALTERNATIVE VOTE AGAINST BOTH PARTIES AND THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM"
(I/R-GA) US/Senator Bob Barr!! Now, I am not going to blow smoke up you black-side and tell you its a warm southern breeze, or piss on your shoe's and say its a warm summer rain. (I/R-GA) US/Senator Bob Barr, has no chance of winning, that's just the way it is at this time in the beginning of a new movement. (I/R-GA) US/Senator Bob Barr, is only getting about a (5%) slice of the cake.
But, its not about getting (I/R-GA) US/Senator Bob Barr, elected it's about sending a message to both the Democratic and Republican Parties, that times they are a changing. It's about sending the message that a new kid is on their way to town, and the town is Washington, D. C.
It's about sending the message that no longer will the game be played as usual.
THE BEST THING IT'S A PROTEST VOTE AND NOT A LOST VOTE!!

TC, FOR THE RECORD I DIDN'T START IT TODAY!
I am just responding!!!
KittyCancan,
We really need to stay away from this "boy" crap. It is really degrading. I know I know, I have posted all sorts on shit on here as "Alicia", "Hillary08", "MaryParker", and "Sillyme"; but we just gotta stop.
And no more about Obama's gayness. If LS is speaking the truth about that, and it comes out, then I am sure we will hear about Huma or whatever Hillary's lady friend's name is. Whaddya think? An openly bi-sexual "dream ticket"?
The point I am trying to make is, for every gay Obama rumor, there is a Hillary one.

TO KATHERINE:
You are so right!! The DNC needs Hillary to support Obama because of all his blunders and his stupidity!!!
Hillary cleans up Obama's mess, and the media will blame Hillary!!!
I have news for the DNC, I voted for Hillary. Just because they're making her campaign with Obama to show unity. That unity is GONE. Millions of us will not vote for Obama!!! The DNC can go to hell!!!
Joyce3:11PMJun 23rd 2008
Friends of BO"
Thanks, but no thanks. No BO for me because there are too many things about him that just don't smell right.
I'm waiting for the Reps to begin raising a stink. Better take a deep breath now while you have a chance.
DANIELLE3:12PMJun 23rd 2008
Oh Hillary! I have to say that I am so disappointed in your decision. I truly thought you were smarter then this!
Dont count on obama to take you as his VP-you are just being used to gather up the likes of us who were voting for you-who have now switched sides or die rather then hand over this country to such a fake, arrogant racist family such as the obamas.
You will be thrown like trash when he is through using you to get the votes he desperatly feels he is obligated to have...have some self respect Hillary-this is as disappointing as Bill Richardson changing sides and backing obama-another rejected wanna be VP....be smart Hillary just say NO
Indepedent or McCain-anyone instead of obama
Jo in SoCal3:13PMJun 23rd 2008
I know what you're thinking, Tommy. You think I'll come on here with some pithy dialogue like, "In the words of one of the greatest poets of our time, Kanye West 'Awwwhhh hell no!!!'". Well, that's not going to happen. I'm not worried about this at all. I'm completely fine. Cool as a cucumber. Totally confident. Ice princess. You'll recall that Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee campaigned with John McCain as well and that lasted all of about a day. This will pass. It's a one shot deal. I'm not going to lose this bet to you!
Show me the blueprints. Show me the blueprints. Show me the blueprints. Show me the blueprints. Show me the blueprints. Show me the blueprints. Show me the blueprints. Show me the blueprints......AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAJORITY MAY FAVOR INDEPENDENT PARTY????
OK Gang! Let's look at this from another point of view! There was an article posted concerning the former (R-GA) US/Representative Bob Barr, who is running on the INDEPENDENT Libertarian Party Ticket.
Which will not win the nomination, but it WORKS FOR A PROTEST VOTE, but what was a very interesting poll showed the following;
The Question basically was:
Are third-party candidates good or bad for the political system?
Good 49%
Somewhere in between 27%
Bad 24%
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So, let’s just go one step beyond and just for arguments sake say spit the somewhere in between from (27%) to (13.5%) and just use the Good and Bad figures!!
Good (62.5%)
Bad (37.5%)
Now, these percentages show that in fact the present TWO-PARTY SYSTEM, which is not to far from being (300) years old maybe ready for an upgrade. You can’t Grid-Lock with Three Parties.
So, a Protest Vote for (I/L) Former (R-GA) US Representative Bob Barr, looks like a double win for those who just can’t go along with either Party or its Presumptive Nominee’s and (62.5%) say’s a lot of voters are inline for a New Era Independent Party, by (2010) it could be born, and by (2012) it could be up and running.

sorry hillary i am you suport but
not vote for obama
KittyCanCan3:20PMJun 23rd 2008
It's okay to call gay boys boys, they even like it but I think they spell it "boi" as in "gay boi".
I don't blame Hillary if she was having some fun with the ladies either.
I bet when Hillary and Barack hug he will reach down and grab her big bootie in both hands. No black man can resist a white woman's big fat bootie. Then Michelle will come out and slap Hillary and Hillary will pull Michelle's weave off. I saw a story just like that on Cheaters.
If he doesn't do it, then you know there is nothing to worry about, because it proves he's white.
Denise3:24PMJun 23rd 2008
I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF THE BUSH/CHENEY DISASTER!!! HOWEVER, I CERTAINLY DO NOT WANT OBAMA TO TRY TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY. HE IS A VERY DANGEROUS MAN!!!
I AM GOING TO VOTE "INDEPENDENT" AND WRITE HILLARY CLINTON'S NAME IN!!!
NOOO OBAMA!!! NOOO MC CAIN!!!

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WAS "SELECTED" --- NOT "ELECTED"!
Why did the DNC push an unelectable, unfit for office person like Barack Hussein Obama, and declare and treat him like the official nominee when he is no such thing?
And why did they treat the best candidate we’ve had in years, Senator Hillary Clinton, away? She, unlike others, loves this country and its people, and will take us to great heights as the president of the United States?
What are Dean, Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy, Kerry, Carter (and other Dem big-wigs) getting out of these nefarious dealings? How much Obama campaign money went to the delegates? THE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW!
HILLARY WAS FORCED TO CAMPAIGN WITH THIS ANTI-AMERICAN WHO HAS TOO MANY TIES TO TERRORISTS.
VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN IN 2008.
