PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Hillary Clinton says the tension between her and presidential rival Barack Obama will end once the Democratic nomination is finalized.
Clinton spoke yesterday in Philadelphia, where she picked up the endorsement of Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell. He took the opportunity to express some displeasure with the recent infighting between the two leading candidates. Rendel says of the Democratic battle he would, quote, "love it if we could do it with less acrimony."
Clinton defends her husband's sharp criticism of Obama and says the party will be unified in the end after a "vigorous contest." She says it's simply a tough campaign.
Emotions spilled over Monday in a televised debate where Clinton and Obama exchanged pointed and personal barbs.
