DENVER, Colo. – Sen. Hillary Clinton called on Democrats to support the man who ended her bid to become president. The senator from New York was the keynote speaker on the second night of the Democratic National Convention.

She asked voters who supported her in the often bitter primary elections fight with Barack Obama to now fully support his candidacy.

“This is a fight for the future and it's a fight we must win together,” she said.

A big question going into Wednesday is whether Clinton’s supporters will be unified behind Obama after her prime time speech.

“I think Sen. Clinton will give an incredibly strong and passionate speech. I heard her today speak to hundreds of her supporters, saying to work their heart out for Barack Obama. And I think really she's such a strong leader, I have to believe her followers will follow her, and I think they will follow her lead to put aside their hurt feelings and the passions of the primaries and focus on what's at stake in November. It's big,” said Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri.

Overall the scene here is a bit chaotic: lots of people and lots of politicians. If you walk by somebody, you might just recognize them.

Now all eyes turn to a big Wednesday night with former President Bill Clinton and vice presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden. Both are scheduled to speak.
