The road from Unity
Posted on June 27, 2008 - Filed Under Politics, Headliners
By most accounts, the first public appearance of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton together on the same stage after the bruising Democratic primaries was a day of unity, albeit heavily scripted, including the choice of the venue . . . a small town in New Hampshire called Unity. And everything unfolded in a way that showed some intriguing possibilities.
It was quite possibly by design that Barack and Hillary took the same jet and thereafter spent more time on the bus ride to Unity . . . which gave the former adversaries ample opportunities to joke around and do some serious bonding . . . that by the time they ascended the small stage it was abundantly clear that both of them had indeed buried the hatchet and were ready to work together on the formidable task of electing the first black US president.
If today’s hugely successful Barack-Hillary appearance is followed by a few more in the next couple of weeks, people might start getting used to what was considered near-impossible before today: a Barack Obama-Hillary Clinton ticket.
That tandem would undoubtedly be an unstoppable force on the road to the White House.
