WASHINGTON (AP) — When Bill and Hillary Clinton take the stage Sunday at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, it will be the launch of an active campaign for their former nemesis Barack Obama in the home stretch of the 2008 presidential race.

The nation's best known and most powerful Democrats for nearly two decades, the former first couple is getting used to a new role: cheerleaders for Obama, who vanquished Hillary Clinton last spring in a Democratic primary contest for the ages.

Whatever recriminations the Clintons may still harbor from that long battle seem to have been nudged aside as they campaign in earnest for the Democratic ticket.

The New York senator and the former president will appear with Obama's running mate, Joe Biden, at a rally Sunday in Scranton, a working class town that has assumed something of an outsize role in the presidential race.

7. They promised her majority leader ...

I bet they promised her majority leader. Given what a weakling Harry Reid is, I'd gladly take her as I know damn well she'll bust some GOP balls.

9. I think that she asked for nothing and was promised nothing. Hillary is campaigning for Barack

because she thinks it is the right thing to do. Also, Hillary would never run against Harry Reid, he's a friend of hers.

8. I'm damn glad they're doing this, but given how well the polls are in that state right now

I almost wonder if their energies would be better spent elsewhere?


Eh, it's always good to shore up support.
