WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton told supporters in an online Web chat Thursday that she and Barack Obama will ensure Democrats are "fully unified" going into the fall presidential campaign.

For his part, Obama dismissed suggestions that the convention could be marred by tensions with Clinton's diehard supporters.

1. OK, DUers

remember you catch more flies with honey than vinegar

Please be respectful of Hillary and Bill IF you want Obama to win.

If you want Obama to lose, then diss Hillary and Bill to your heart's content.

6. Blackmail is not an option

Sorry, but that's what it sounds like to me. Say nothing negative about the Clintons, no matter what they say or do, or face defeat.

2. how benevolent of her

[Midlodemocrat]

3. Not surprised. Clinton is a good Democrat who will work

I think the Hillary Haters will descend on this thread like locusts, so I will bow out now.

4. Actually, they won't.

Real news that shows her doing or saying something positive is largely ignored by them.

Internet bullshit posts are what they respond to.

8. What egos.

[High Plains]

9. Hillary Clinton got 18 million Democratic primary votes.

Just a hair fewer than Obama.

What egos, indeed.

[JeanGrey]

10. You are correct. Bill and Hillary Clinton have the largest egos

on the planet, bar none. (It's a tossup as to which is worse but I'd still vote for Bill).
