It was a moment many thought would never happen -- and certainly not in Florida: Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton sharing a stage in Orlando as 50,000 enthusiastically united Democrats cheered them on. After the rally, Obama and Clinton spoke exclusively with "Nightline" in their first interview together.
With two weeks remaining before Election Day, Obama told "Nightline" that he's "doing a little better" in Florida thanks to some help from his former rival.
"Hillary, I think, is as effective a spokeperson for the Democratic ideal, which is, that is, that everyone gets a fair shot. That's what she's been fighting for," Obama said. "There are some passionate supporters of hers that may still be trying to figure out who to vote for. She's got some great crossover appeal."
"She's been consistent in campaigning down here in Florida for us," Obama said. "I think it's why we're doing a little better here than we were a month ago."
The appearance occured on the first day of early voting in Florida, an important swing state with 27 electoral votes.
