They promised to bury their rivalry from their bruising presidential nominating fight and work together to put Obama in the White House. They appeared together in the symbolically named town of Unity.

The campaign rally was the first time the two shared a stage in public since Obama clinched the Democratic nomination earlier this month. Public opinion polls show Obama has been solidifying Democratic backing in recent weeks.

Opinion polls also suggest Obama is taking a clear national lead over Republican John McCain.
