In their first public step towards reconciliation following a brutal primary season, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-NY., and Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., traveled together to the small town of Unity, New Hampshire for their first joint campaign rally.
The town was symbolically chosen by the Obama campaign for the event because of it's name and because 107 residents voted for Obama and 107 voted for Clinton during the primaries.
"Well, Unity is not only a beautiful place as we can see, it's a wonderful feeling isn't it?" Clinton said, standing beside Obama before 4,000 people.
"And I know when we start here in this field in Unity, we'll end on the steps of the Capitol when Barack Obama takes the oath of office as our next president."
Clinton addressed any of her backers who are considering voting for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.,: "I strongly urge you to reconsider."
Of Obama, she said, "I know that he'll work for you. He'll fight for you, and he'll stand up for you every single day in the White House," Clinton said, calling Obama "a leader who invests in our future."
When it was his turn at the podium, Obama praised his former rival's dedication and tenacity.
"For 16 months, Senator Clinton and I have shared the stage as rivals for the nomination, but today I could not be happier and more honored and more moved that we're sharing this stage as allies to bring about the fundamental changes that this country so desperately needs," Obama said.
"Hillary and I may have started with separate goals in this campaign, but we made history together," he said. "I've admired her as a leader, I've learned from her as a candidate. She rocks. She rocks.

And rolls.
You know, the Clintons are worth 100M. Why not spend her own money paying her debts and not subject herself to this circus? She’d still have 90M left, and Bill can make 10M pretty quick on the lecture circuit.
the reason the left is so heavily populated with lunatics is that you’d have to be one in order to not see through this bs.
are you sure he didn’t say, “She is a rock?”
Rocks what?
Obama is a freaking moron.
Uh huh, right.
What a tanker load of fecal matter.
When they were running against each other, Oblama/Osama/Omama hated her white guts.
It should be called “two candidates and a cup”.
“She rocks....in her rocker!”
So they had to spend so much money, burn so many carbon credits, waste so much time and effort, just to go to a place called Unity to show that they are united? They couldn’t do that from Washington?
Talk about a bunch of idiots.
Her high negatives and his skin color were of no concern to them. This election is "theirs" to win. Just as Hillary's ascent made her 'heir' apparent.
Hopefully, the dems will come away from this loss (2008) realizing that they must run a 'desirable' candidate with a stealth marxist message. Vaginas and melenan need not apply.
She has rocks in her head?
She “rocks” huh? Well that’s all I need to know when voting for politicians! Foreign policy? Who cares? What’s important is whether or not they “rock!”
What I heard was, “She rots, she rots.”
LOL..how passe..”she rocks”
It’s because Hillary is power hungry, she just can’t let it go like a normal person, no, she has to hang around and act all forceful, as if she is a force to be reckoned with, thereby giving her followers the subliminal messege to not give up. By the very act of showing up and acting forceful she is undermining Obama. It’s so sad that we must continue to dread the Clinton Machine. They just won’t give up.
Can you really blame Obama for not liking the witch? I mean could you like her? I seriously doubt the reason for not liking Hillary had anything to do with her color. Come on, it’s not as if there isn’t plenty of other reasons for him to not like her. Just look at the way she conducted herself during the campaign? As liberal as Obamam is, I didn’t see him pullilng anything like what the Clintions did. True, Michelle might not be too fond of white people but that has nothing to do with her husband.
