Hillary Rodham Clinton and likely Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama met privately to talk about uniting the Democratic Party, as pressure mounted for the Illinois senator to invite the former first lady to become his running mate.

Obama said he will not be rushed into a decision on choosing a vice president. Clinton supporters in Congress and elsewhere promoted a "dream ticket," ramping up a campaign Thursday to persuade him to make her his No. 2.

"Senator Clinton and Senator Obama met tonight and had a productive discussion about the important work that needs to be done to succeed in November," their campaigns said in joint statement. The statement included no details of their talks.

Robert Gibbs, an Obama spokesman, would not say where the former rivals met, except that it was not at Clinton's home in Washington, as had been widely reported. He also declined to comment on their topics of discussion, including the possibility of Obama inviting Clinton to become his running mate.

Clinton's campaign also was not commenting.

The meeting between the two Democrats came hours after Clinton appeared to reject efforts by supporters urging Obama to choose her as his vice president, and promised to rally support for her one-time opponent in the general election.

"She is not seeking the vice presidency, and no one speaks for her but her," Clinton's communication director Howard Wolfson said. "The choice here is Senator Obama's and his alone.

Say what you will, but in the age of cell phone video and cell phone pictures the campaigns did a darn good job of hiding the 2 candidates.

It was secret.

Ooops!
Major typo on my part!
I should say that they didn't know he wasn't on the plane until they were in the air.
