Obama, Clinton campaign together for first time

---

Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have finally buried the hatchet, campaigning together for the first time at a huge joint rally in the crucial swing state of Florida in a show of togetherness five days before election day, reports BBC.
They looked like an odd couple as they hugged awkwardly and Mr Clinton grasped the hand of the young pretender to his old crown and held it aloft before a cheering crowd of some 35,000 in Kissimmee.
"Barack Obama represents America's future, and you've got to be there for him next Tuesday," he said.
The late-night event brought an end the rift between the two men that dated back to the bitter primary battle between Hillary Clinton and Mr Obama when the former president was accused of making racially-charged remarks.
"The presidential campaign is the greatest job interview in the world," Mr Clinton said as he introduced the man who ended his wife's dreams of returning to the White House as the country's first woman president.
"This is not a close question. If you make the decision based on who can best get us out of the ditch ... I think it's clear the next president should be, and with your help will be, Senator Barack Obama."
Mr Clinton made a deliberate and carefully reasoned case, if not an effusive one, for Mr Obama, whose candidacy he once rejected as a "fairy tale".
For his part, Mr Obama, whose primary victory was based on his argument that that the Clintons and the Bushes represented the failed politics of the past and choosing Mrs Clinton would be to build " a bridge back to the Twentieth Century", was gracious about the former president's legacy.
