Vote Both!

The Atlantic's Marc Ambinder highlights a new website up (www.voteboth.com) that encourages Democrats to support a join Obama-Clinton ticket (no particular order).

The web site, although technically unaffiliated with the Clinton camp, was launched by Adam Parkhomenko who resigned from the Clinton campaign just three weeks ago. Parkhomenko was executive assistant to ex-campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle.

[Parkhomenko] had been one of the first employees of the 2006 incarnation of Clinton's political action committee, HillPAC, and his proximity to the powers of the campaign will raise the question of whether the effort is sanctioned by the campaign. (Parkhomenko says that the idea was his own.)

The website features a petition to members of the Democratic National Committee "to support a unity ticket with both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama."

Five years ago, another unauthorized Parkhomenko website, VoteHillary.org, caught the attention of Clinton; he was hired by Solis Doyle in 2005.
