Hillary Clinton To Democrats in Denver: 'No Way, No How, No McCain'
Runner-Up Tells Democrats "The Time is Now to Unite as a Single Party"
Clinton Strived to Bury Disunity Narrative
With four in 10 voters saying in the last ABC News/Washington Post poll that the economy will be their number one concern in November, the Obama campaign is trying to hammer McCain on this issue.
Meanwhile, Clinton strived to put the disunity narrative to rest in her speech.
But after a bitter primary battle with tensions between Obama and Clinton camps lingering through to the party's convention, it isn't clear how much impact her speech will have.
Senior Obama campaign officials sought to tamp down expectations, telling ABC News they can never guarantee what the reaction of everyone will be, but that Clinton's support is 100 percent.
She specifically praised the candidate's wife and potential first lady Michelle Obama -- who also praised Clinton by name during her speech to the convention last night.
The former first lady said with Obama in the White House will be "a terrific partner in Michelle Obama. Anyone who saw Michelle's speech last night knows she will be a great First Lady for America. Americans are also fortunate that Joe Biden will be at Barack Obama's side . . . They will be a great team for our country."
Analysts agree it's now in both Obama and Clinton's best interests to project a unified party as Democrats fight McCain for the Oval Office.
"I don't think she has a future as a presidential candidate if Barack Obama loses," Stephanopoulos told ABC News' Charlie Gibson. "If he loses, there's going to be so much anger in this party, I think both of them will have a hard time running again."
