Hillary To Campaign For Obama In New Mexico This Sunday
Hillary will campaign for Obama this Sunday at Northern New Mexico College, her office confirms.
She's in the state to attend a couple of fundraisers with Bill Richardson to pay off her campaign debt.
Her campaigning for Obama comes at a time when tensions between the two camps, to the extent that there were any, have largely tailed off. Hillary and Obama agreed yesterday that her name will be entered into nomination at the Dem convention, after which she'll urge her backers to support Obama.
Separately, there's been a bit of confusion over who's speaking when on Tuesday night at the convention. While Virginia Governor Mark Warner unquestionably has the marquee slot as keynote speaker, the Dem convention team also confirms that Hillary will speak last, meaning she'll deliver the climax speech, which is also a good slot.
She'll be the last on the stage and get the bulk of the network primetime coverage. It's a good look by the Obama campaign, since the media is drawn to the Clintons like flies to shit. And I mean that in the most flattering way possible.

If her camp had called me Judas, I sure as hell wouldn't be doing any fundraising to pay off Mark Penn's debt!!!

"I know we called you a Judas, but you got $1 million to spare?"

I think that's the first time I've ever felt sorry for Larry Johnson.

Will be interesting to see if Bill Clinton makes the trip. Because you know all of the James Carville venom came straight from Bill!

All things considered, I'd rather be in Northern New Mexico today too.

OT: I received a horrible email yesterday, maybe some of you have seen, with a nurse (who was fired but did testify before Congress) conveying how horrible infanticide is, and Obama supported this method, is responsible for it happening in Illinois, and would be a horrible President since he approves and promotes killing live babies.
My question is, I know he voted 'present' on the first vote in IL, and no on the second. How has it revolved to this? The video says he opposed the very ban congress passed. Obama said that had he been in Congress then he would have supported the ban also. Does anyone know the truth and more importantly, the reasoning, behind his voting record in Illinois regarding this issue?

She and Bill may THINK they still lead but after this SHOW and after Obama wins -- they will be part of our history.

Is HRC really campaigning for Obama, or just to keep in the news before the convention,,,
I don't trust her. As some pundits said, she is now running for 2012...

I got as far as the Dick Morris byline, then stopped.

In the interest of avoiding the charge of rampant, blatant sexism, perhaps we might avoid linking Hillary to climax to slots.
Then again...
