This Magic Moment

posted by on August 14 at 10:54 AM

Here’s the Obama/Clinton joint statement on her name being placed in nomination at the Democratic convention two weeks from now:

Since June, Senators Obama and Clinton have been working together to ensure a Democratic victory this November. They are both committed to winning back the White House and to to ensuring that the voices of all 35 million people who participated in this historic primary election are respected and heard in Denver. To honor and celebrate these voices and votes, both Senator Obama’s and Senator Clinton’s names will be placed in nomination.

“I am convinced that honoring Senator Clinton’s historic campaign in this way will help us celebrate this defining moment in our history and bring the party together in a strong united fashion,” said Senator Barack Obama.

Senator Obama’s campaign encouraged Senator Clinton’s name to be placed in nomination as a show of unity and in recognition of the historic race she ran and the fact that she was the first woman to compete in all of our nation’s primary contests.

“With every voice heard and the Party strongly united, we will elect Senator Obama President of the United States and put our nation on the path to peace and prosperity once again,” said Senator Hillary Clinton.

Senator Obama and Senator Clinton are looking forward to a convention unified behind Barack Obama as the Party’s nominee and to victory this fall for America.

Two nights of Clinton is just too much.

I'm just going to watch Obama at the Spitfire with the 43rd when he gives his speech, instead.

Plus, it's a no cost party, so everyone's welcome that night.

Is it just me, or are they laying the psychological groundwork for the Obama/Clinton ticket...?
