OBAMA AND CLINTON TO CAMPAIGN TOGETHER.
It was announced today that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton will campaign together next Friday.
OK, let’s have some fun with this one. What’s going to be the big storyline? And what’s going to be the cute tag name for these events?
I stink at this sort of thing, but I’ll go with Barack-Hill-a-palooza. (They are both iconic people who can be referred to by first names only.) On a more serious note, my bet is that the major storyline will be that Obama will smartly opt to introduce Hillary at the event(s) and let her speech be the focal point, rather than having her open with the standard, rah-rah introduction before yielding the stage to him.

I wouldn't bet against you. Obama's deft political judgment is a thing of beauty, and that's undoubtedly the right way to handle it.

Baracklary. Pronunced kind of like trying to say "Broccoli" in a heavy Japanese accent.

Doesn't take deft political judgment to have Clinton give the main speech in a state she won or in front of demographics that favored her. It is called advocacy.
Obama should have Clinton spend the summer in an RV, going up and down I75, I77 and I79.
