Obama And Clinton Met Tonight In Washington
The efforts at post-primary reconciliation have reached another step tonight, with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton reportedly having met at the Clintons' Washington home.
At this point one can only guess what subjects came up. Reasonable guesses would include, among other things: VP talk, finding roles for her supporters/staffers within his general election campaign, and getting help from his vast fundraising resources in retiring her campaign debts.
Late Update: Here are some late details from the meeting. It turns out the meeting wasn't at the Clintons' Washington home, but instead at the home of California Senator Dianne Feinstein, who had been a staunch Hillary backer. The two candidates met alone, without Feinstein in the room, and only water was served.
"Just them. No staff," Feinstein said. "There were no press, no staff. They had one person from each campaign that was in my study separately and I guess the security people outside. They got along very well."
And here's the joint statement from the two candidate:
"Senator Clinton and Senator Obama met tonight and had a productive discussion about the important work that needs to be done to succeed in November."
