"We are one party, we are one America," she added.

Great rally and a good beginning of the general election campaign. If this was an audition for vp, Senator Clinton certainly won the part. I cannot think of any other democrat who can more convincingly support the election of a democratic president this year. She gives a good speech and no one more believes in the changes that are needed in the country than Hillary Clinton. She has preached it for the primary campaign and she is a firm believer. She is committed and determined and she has not only the courage of her convictions but has proved her loyalty over the years that she will have the courage of his convictions. You would have the two most popular democrats on the ticket and would be unstoppable for November
I am energized even more than ever to make sure that the Democrats are running this country in January of 2009. Hillary seemed more natural and at ease in Unity NH this day. I have been for Obama since early on. If I had seen this side of her during the primary season it would have been a much more difficult choice.
Let's keep this up. I think it would be wise - and not just for political reasons - for Obama to consider Clinton for a top-level post in his administration. The bottom line is she can get things done.
Hill looks fantastic.
Yes.We.Can.
This "sweet little romance" shows you how dedicated Clinton is to her ideals and how easily she can climb in bed with an opponent who treated her is a sexist way during the primary. I don't trust either one of them.
I heard every word that Mr. Obama just said in this speach. However I heard nothing, I heard him state all the "choices" in this election. However heard no information on how he plans to do anything. Why does this man never explain how he plans to do the things he says he will do, Just the result? We are to just take him at his word, that the result will happen and not know HOW??? I was an Obama supporter however I can't say now that I am going to vote for either man. Mr. McCain at least will talk to people and EXPLAIN what he has in mind. Additionally I am really starting to see the diffrence between Mr. McCain and Mr. Bush.
This Unity meeting.....IT WAS AWESOME
I'm an Obama supporter, but I must say...what \ Hillary said was more than I can asked for.
She was AWESOME
Vote the Democratic in all you PUMA'S...we need to win;
god are we missing out on a great leader not electing hillary , obama could not even make a speach without reading his notes. well i was one holding back the tears. was anyone else?

Well, that's just great. I'm loving this. They do make a powerful team. Initially, I didn't like the idea of Clinton as VP but this could work well, she's warming up on me after her negativity in the campaign. I'm liking what's going on, let's hope it continues…
Obama/ Clinton '08 and '12!!!
I am with you..I think that duo would kick some butt.
So he's no longer an elitist and she's no longer Annie Oakley packing a six-shooter? We're all getting along in Unity N.H. Ah politics, ain't it grand. Politicians both. Nothings changed, nothings going to change. Then again maybe Barack will introduce good old Chicago politics to the White House. He can start off by pardoning his buddy Rezko. Let the good times roll.
Bob the Builder!
Can we build it?
Bob the Builder!
Yes we can!!
That rally was awesome! I still dont agree with the Hillary for Veep only because that position has no power and will handcuff Hillary but if she wants it Im all for it! They are good together and just their primary votes alone will win the election!
Oh my oh my, they both called each other the worst of the names, and they are best friends. Is there something called "Self Respect" in their dictionary. This is how McCain is different from both of these. Democrats are most probably going to take the white house, but the fact is it will not make a difference, and people can blame George W all they want, the excesses started under Clinton and George W had to pay for it. This is what happens when Media is so excessively democratic biased.
By the way Miss Clinton, with that 20 million that you are asking from people, we could take that same 20 million and feed 2 million children for a year, oh I am sorry, but your high standard of living is rather more important than those 2 million children.
whatever ! latinos for McCain 🙂
The DNC has too many problems to give Obama a win. Go, McCain.
I am proud to see that they have finally come together.
Obama/Kaine 08!
Sorry this HRC supporter won't be voting for BHO after the way his campaign and supporters viciously attached her day in day out. Now you want our help??? Forget it. Take your candidate and his sleazy tactics back to Chicago.
PUMA
Sorry, Hillary, I'm still not voting for him.

The name is John Sydney McCain and he will be our next president, not Barak Hussein Obama. If all you idiots can do is insult Senator McCain and mispell his name you are really grasping at straws.
THIS WOULD BE A LOT MORE PERSUASIVE IF OBAMA WASN'T PAYING OFF HILLARY'S DEBT. WE ALL KNOW THE CLINTONS WILL SAY ANYTHING FOR $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
dont trust the clintons while she might be there next to Obama
remember
"this is personal,"
"June is not over..
she and bill are two sneaky snakes
but hey
she will make sure that if not her, then McBush,,
she is a LIAR
He needs her to fix the damage she’s done to the party. She needs him to make her relevant and help pay off her campaign debt. His motives are for the greater good. Her motives, I suspect, are not.
Sorry No Clinton VP = McCain 08
Out your actions where your mouth is Obama...Unity is easy just put CLinton on the ticket.
A divided Democratic Primary has always resulted in a loss in the GE when the winner dosen't pick the runner Up as VP!
So Obama if you lose and dont pick Clinton as VP, you will have no one to blame but yourself
WAY TO GO GUYS! Lets unify and win! Lets solve some of these problems cause by the Bush Administration and get back the Respect of the free world.
I know a good writer that has a story for Will and Jada's production company.

Show of Unity: OUTSTANDING!!!
