Colorado Springs -- The would-be "united party" of state Democrats showed signs of divisions this afternoon when the campaign chairman for Hillary Rodham Clinton, Terry McAuliffe, addressed the crowd.
Though he drew wild cheers when calling for a united party, McAuliffe's version of the primary popular vote drew boos and a long shouting match between the camps shouting "O-Bam-A!" and "Hill-AR-EE!"
McAuliffe, counting the voters of Michigan and Florida, which have been disqualified, said that Clinton had more than 17 million of the 35 million votes cast to date and Obama had somewhat less.
"I love your enthusiasm!" he said.
