Obama Deploys Clintons as Race Tightens

This is great to see:

Barack Obama is unleashing both of the Democratic Party's heaviest hitters - Bill and Hillary Clinton - as he battles to fend off a revitalized Republican ticket in the White House election.

    For the first time, former president Bill Clinton is set to join his wife Hillary on the campaign trail for Obama, whose poll lead over John McCain has evaporated since the Republican chose Sarah Palin as his running mate...

    He remains a powerful draw among the kinds of blue-collar Democrats whom Obama has struggled to win over, and indicated he would start campaigning after upcoming meetings of the Clinton Global Initiative on September 23-26.

    "We're putting him to work," said Obama, who had poured lavish praise on Clinton during an appearance on the "Late Show with David Letterman" Wednesday.

    Hillary Clinton meanwhile is set to campaign for Obama at two rallies in the battleground state of Ohio on Sunday.
