DENVER — This comes from Obama communications director Robert Gibbs following Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s speech here at the Pepsi Center last night:
After leaving the house party [in Billings, Montana], Senator Obama called and talked for several minutes with Senator Hillary Clinton saying how grateful he was for her support, that she gave a terrific speech and that all those he watched with in Billings, MT were moved by her video and introduction from Chelsea. Also said he loved her line “No way, no how, no McCain.”
Senator Obama also called and spoke with President Bill Clinton for several minutes saying Senator Clinton could not have been better and made the case for change. Obama said he knew how proud he must have been watching as he was last night watching Michelle speak and how grateful he was for their support.

One can only imagine the suppressed animosity Obama and Clinton shared as they spoke for what must have been some of the longest minutes of this campaign. Now that his wife has done her service to the party one is left to wonder whether Bill Clinton can match his wife’s enthusiasm and help the Democratic Party move past the primary wars of New Hampshire and South Carolina.
