Former President Bill Clinton to campaign with Obama in Florida - after the bitter and close Democratic primary election, many wondered how and if the Democratic party would come together. Both Clintons gave excellent speeches at the Democratic Convention and have campaigned for Obama. This will be the first appearance of Bill Clinton and Obama together - Florida is a good place for this to happen. If Obama wins Florida, it will be extremely difficult for McCain to win.
