Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up...

Here comes Hillary's audition:

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
Once fierce rivals for their party's nomination, Obama and Clinton will make their most public display of unity to date next Friday.

The two Democrats will campaign together then, the Obama campaign announced. No word yet as to where they will do it or how.

The e-mail release simply stated, "Further details to be announced soon."

Rumors of the demise of 'VP Hillary' have been greatly exaggerated.

After she dropped out, there was much talk of Hillary 'forcing' herself onto the ticket. Clearly, as long as that story was running, Obama couldn't choose her as his running mate.

But now? The arm twisting story is gone and instead here comes the 'unity' audition.

I can picture it now....

(scene: Obama Campaign rally. Thousands screaming Hillary's name)

Hillary: And now I'd like to introduce the next President of the United States!!!
