Clinton: Obama better than McCain
Hillary Rodham Clinton told an exuberant crowd she wants Barack Obama to win the White House, saying that even though he dashed her presidential dream he is a better choice to lead America than Republican John McCain.
The speech on Friday was Clinton's first appearance at a rally for Obama since their ballyhooed June appearance together in Unity, New Hampshire, and follows news that former President Bill Clinton, her husband and one of Obama toughest critics during the combative Democratic primary, will speak on the third night of the party's national convention.
The developments were a further sign of a thaw in relations between Obama and the Clintons, potentially easing worries within the party that bad feelings from the grueling primary battle might erupt at the Denver convention later this month.
