Clinton supporters will make their voices heard


(Alison King, NECN: Denver, CO) - The focus of Day Two of the Democratic National Convention in Denver will be on Hillary Clinton.

After a long arduous primary season in which she won 18 million votes, the New York Senator gets a prime time convention slot. She's expected to urge her supporters to back Obama, even as many of her most ardent backers marched in the streets of Denver.

Clinton says that if it comes down to a roll call vote she herself will vote for Barack Obama. In the past she has said she would not tell people how to vote, but she may do so Tuesday.

Former Democratic presidential candidate Michael Duakakis says that the Clinton protests are "wildly exaggerated".

Some extreme Clinton supporters however, are calling for fellow supporters to vote for John McCain, a third party candidate, or to stay home.
