Amid fears the bitter battle between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama
could tear the Dee to thwart Republican McCain.
And Democratic Party chief Howard Dean Friday warned the candidates
not to rip the party apart.

"I think the candidates have got to understand that they have an
obligation to our country to unify," the Democratic National Committee
chairman told CBS.

"Somebody's going to lose this race with 49.8 percent of the vote, and
that person has got to pull their supporters in behind the nominee."

Other party heavyweights have so far refused to be drawn on their
positions. Former White House hopeful John Edwards who dropped out of
the race in February has yet to endorse either of his former rivals.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi meanwhile has stuck to her position that
the person who wins the popular vote should get the nomination --
which would currently see Obama crowned.
