Senators Obama and Clinton rally in Unity, NH to unite the Party in ending the repugnant Republican reign in the White House

Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) joined Barack Obama on Friday in New Hampshire to show her support for Senator Obama and stress the need for change in the White House.

“The truth is, that in this election, we face an opponent with a very different vision of America,” Clinton, said. “In the end, after eight devastating years of President Bush, Senator McCain merely offers four years more.”

“For anyone who voted for me and now is considering not voting or voting for Senator McCain, I strongly urge you to reconsider. I hope you’ll stand with me. I hope you’ll work as hard for Senator Obama as you did for me,” Senator Clinton concluded.

Senator Obama then took the stage and echoed Senator Clinton’s sentiments. He focused on the necessity to shift away from the failed policies of President Bush; something he, and many other invested Americans, are certain Senator McCain will only continue.

“The choice in this election is not between the left and the right, between liberal and conservative — it’s a choice between the past and the future,” Senator Obama proclaimed.

Today marks the end of the 2008 Primary season as Obama and Clinton eye the Democratic nomination

At long last, after six months of battling on the campaign trail, the Democratic Primaries come to a close today.

Montana and South Dakota will hold their primaries today as Barack Obama stands a mere 42 delegates away from locking up the Democratic Party nomination. Clinton, on the other hand, needs 201 delegates to claim victory.

With only 31 delegates on the line between Montana and South Dakota, both candidates will look to the “superdelegates” to determine the party’s nomination.

The “superdelegates” are comprised of roughly 825 governors, members of Congress, as well as party officials. As of today, there remain nearly 200 superdelegates that have yet to endorse either Obama or Clinton. It is these lingering 200 superdelegates that will ultimately crown the next Democratic candidate for President.
