Statement from the Obama and Clinton Press Offices
August 14, 2008

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.

U.N.I.T.Y.?

Sorry, I'll make this one quick. This article just has me sick to my stomach...I thought we were working towards unity. Not ONCE have I ever heard an Obama supporter, field organizer, or other campaign worker say "we don't need [Clinton supporters]." I also don't understand how if a candidate has since endorsed his/her former opponent, why he/she would want to put her name on the ballot? I feel that would divide more than unite. Also, this whining of "she's not getting what she deserves" and "they're shutting her out" I just DON'T understand. Obviously, Senator Clinton is going to be a major part of the Democratic party as she has been since she was the First Lady. I just...I guess I just don't understand. I mean, if the shoe was on the other foot, I'm sure I would be kinda upset that my candidate lost, but once he endorsed his opponent, agreed that her plans and policies would work for us domestically and abroad, and was out CAMPAIGNING for her, I would just LET IT GO. Idk. I just think it's been 2 months already, and if the opponents can work together, then why can't we?
