Bill Clinton and Obama plan joint appearance

Former President Bill Clinton and Senator Barack Obama will appear together "within the week," a source close to one of the men said.

Clinton sharply questioned Obama's credentials, on his wife's behalf, during the primary, and moved slowly toward a full-throated endorsement this summer. The two men met at Clinton's Harlem office, and Clinton has campaigned on Obama's behalf in Florida. Clinton also offered a ringing endorsement of the Democratic nominee at the party's Denver convention.

"Barack Obama is ready to lead America and restore American leadership in the world. Ready to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. Barack Obama is ready to be President of the United States," Clinton said in Denver.

But the planned appearance this week -- the source wouldn't say where -- will be their first appearance on the stump together. It's an opportunity to stage another symbolic passing of the party's torch, and to command media attention on one of the dwindling number of days left in the campaign.
