11 PM ?? Doesn't that seem a little late for a weekday night?

Bubba and Barack to Rally in Sunshine State
October 25, 2008 3:08 PM

Former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama will be campaigning together in Orlando, Fla., on Wednesday night.

The rally starts at 11 p.m.

There has famously been much tension between the two men. Obama resented what he saw as dismissive and even some racially-tinged comments about him made by Clinton and supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, during the primaries;The former president resented implications that he had in any way played the race card and he didn't like Obama's criticisms of his policies such as NAFTA.

For many Democrats this joint appearance has been a long time coming.

-- Jake Tapper and Sunlen Miller

1. And he had to throw in that snarky last sentence about "division" as well.
What a tool.

3. It might be possible.
I know that in the final week of some presidential campaigns, there were some very late or very early rallies scheduled. I seem to recall that was the case with Dukakis and again with Clinton's first run. Obama is young enough to have the stamina to do the same. McCain can't.
