In a webchat earlier today- Clinton promised that all voices would be heard at the convention writing

"Senator Obama and I are working together to make sure it's a big success."

Still- several groups of Clinton supporters are planning marches and

that nobody is ready to be president"

The person most likely to benefit from any renewed democrat infighting is
John McCain. Today at a town hall in Ohio- he attacked Obama for his voting record..
