Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will join Barack Obama on the campaign trail next week for the first time since Obama emerged as the presumptive Democratic nominee on June 3.
Obama, an Illinois senator, has been intent on trying to unify the party ahead of the November election after a bitter, 16-month struggle between the candidates to become the Democratic standard-bearer.
Obama and Clinton will appear together on Friday, June 27, but the Obama campaign gave no details about the event.
Earlier this week, Obama included several high-profile supporters of Clinton, such as former secretary of state Madeleine Albright and retired Gen. Wesley Clark in meetings to advise him on national security.
Clinton, a New York senator and former first lady, saw her hopes of becoming the first woman president slip away after she entered the race last year with an aura of inevitability. Obama, who faces presumptive Republican nominee John McCain, would be the first black U.S. president.
Clinton did not concede defeat right away but in a speech to her supporters four days after Obama had racked up enough delegates to clinch the nomination, she gave Obama an emphatic endorsement.Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will join Barack Obama on the campaign... more

Here's one of the perils of becoming a star in the modern world: Online cons start to jump on the bandwagon. Spam
Online security company MessageLabs reported Tuesday that it has uncovered "two new spam clusters last week with subject lines relating to Barack Obama."
One of the phony e-mails uses the classic celebrity-scandal headline to snag readers' attention: "Scandal rocks Obama as lurid sex video leaked."
MessageLabs says that that's just one variant of a number of headlines. The others contain insults.
The e-mails then lead the fool-hardy to places online that look like porn video sites that serve up malware if you try to download anything from them.
Of course, the sites ask its viewers to download a piece of code to enable them to watch the videos. Lovely.
The second hoax looks more like ye olde spam campaign, but looks as if it spoofs or uses barackobama-supporter related domains.
MessageLab flagged a group of scam e-mails that appears to do things like sell watches. The senders are using barackobamaismyhomeboy.com and barackobamaisyournewbicycle.com as their domains.
The first of the two clusters of campaigns accounted 18 percent of all of the spam campaigns this week, says MessageLabs.
The company has yet to find any campaigns like this related to John McCain.
"We haven’t seen any as yet related to John McCain -- whether it's a good thing or not having your name associated with a spam campaign, I don't know," says Paul Woods, MessageLabs' senior analyst.Here's one of the perils of becoming a star in the modern world: Online cons... more
