WASHINGTON, April 27 (UPI) -- Campaign officials for U.S. Democratic presidential rivals Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton said Sunday their party will unite against the GOP this fall.
Speaking on CBS's "Face the Nation," Howard Wolfson of Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign said he thinks the primary season battle between Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama "has been great" for the party.
Regardless of the outcome, he said, "we're going to come together as a party, we're going to go behind whoever is the nominee, and we're going to do everything we can to elect that person because the stakes are that high."
David Axelrod of the Obama campaign agreed.
"We understand that the continuation of these Republican policies would be disastrous for people across Indiana, across North Carolina, who are sitting there this morning, watching this program and going through their bills and wondering how they're going to pay them and know that we can't afford more of the same Bush economic policies," Axelrod said.
Both said they will tout the qualities they believe make their candidate the stronger of the two Democrats against the presumptive Republican nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain.
