MINNEAPOLIS - Hillary Rodham Clinton is stepping up efforts to swing her supporters behind Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, her former rival for the nomination.

In an outreach dubbed "Hillary Sent Me," the New York senator was inviting her primary-season partisans Friday to get involved directly in Obama's campaign and donate to it. As part of that, she was urging 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 was telling supporters in a conference call Friday, according to remarks provided to The Associated Press in advance. "This is a call to action. This is a must-do. We all have a role. And there is not a moment to lose."

As many as 2,000 supporters from all 50 states were expected to participate in the conference call, scheduled for 4 p.m. EDT. Former New Hampshire Gov. Jeanne Shaheen, who is challenging Republican John Sununu for his Senate seat in that state, was also expected to take part.

The effort was organized with the Obama campaign and state Democratic parties nationwide. Its goal: to engage the former first lady's donors and voters — many of whom are still sore over her loss to Obama in the epic primary contest — to put that firmly behind them and help in battleground states.

The New York senator has already campaigned for Obama in Ohio, Florida, Nevada and New Mexico and raised about $5 million for his campaign. "Hillary Sent Me" is her first explicit pitch to her grass roots supporters to get involved, Clinton aides said.

Sounds more like what a paid killer would say before bumping off Bill.

Truth be told we may be co-supporters of such a campaign. To which quite a laugh will be had with the Kool Aid jokes.

Good grief, Dev. That's a mild jab at best. Certainly nothing inflammatory and I think it's pretty accurate. Neither you nor metta have ever posted anything positive about Obama since his nomination in spite of all the endorsements....in spite of both Bill and Hillary supporting him.

Have you ever posted praise for HRC? Or McCain?

I don't drink it tho (obvs).

And the Clintons are 'supporting' him only as much as they (choose to) show the public. Surely you know that politics is politics. I haven't heard Bill speak lately. He must be 'busy'....

Ya know, I think it's really doing HRC a disservice to say she's only doing this as part of a public personna.

After such a hard fought campaign, I think it's damn gracious of her to do this and says only good things about her character.

So what if it might be true that underneath it all, she's simmering and seething as she does it. She's not letting the SOB's get her down. She gets my vote for a class act.
