UNITY, (New Hampshire), June 27 (AFP): Senator Hillary Clinton was reaching out with a show of unity in Unity, bestowing a warm endorsement on her Democratic rival, now the party's presumptive White House hope, Barack Obama. The former primary adversaries were to hold a "Unite for Change" rally Friday at a school in the aptly named community, where each candidate got exactly 107 votes in New Hampshire's January primary.
On the eve of the rally set in Unity's rolling, verdant hills, Clinton addressed Hispanic leaders in Washington to thank her supporters for their "passion and determination."
The higher forms of political calculation at play in the Clinton-Obama tango, including what role she will take in his campaign and what help he will extend to repaying her debts, were not preoccupying Unity folks.
