Former presidential contender Hillary Rodham Clinton is stepping up her efforts to swing her disaffected supporters over to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, her former rival.
In an outreach titled "Hillary Sent Me," the New York senator invited her supporters Friday to get involved directly in Obama's campaign and donate to it. She urged them to travel to a specific battleground state each weekend, beginning with New Hampshire on Sept. 27, when she will be campaigning for Obama in Michigan.
"Today I am asking all of you to stand up, hit the road and spread the word that we must elect Barack Obama president and we must send a filibuster-proof majority to Congress," Clinton told supporters in a conference call Friday. "This is a call to action. This is a must-do. We all have a role. And there is not a moment to lose."
Clinton has already campaigned for Obama in Ohio, Florida, Nevada and New Mexico and raised about $5 million for his campaign.

Wasn't there a guy named Al Gore who also made some noise as a Democrat? What?--he's not for Obama? Or has he been determined to be a liability. I thought Warren Buffet was an Obama supporter? Maybe Im wrong, but I thought that's what I heard. Now might be a good time for Obama to roll that guy out. He could actually influence some people these days.
