The first day of the Democratic convention in Denver and the talk has been too much about the Clintons.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are working out a deal that would give her some votes during a roll call vote, then move to unanimous support for Obama, according to the Associated Press.

She will tell her delegates how she is voting, for Obama, but will not tell them how to vote.

“This was a hard-fought campaign ad there was a lot of intensity and passion associated with it, in part because of the historic nature of our two candidacies,” she said to the AP.

Meanwhile, former President Bill Clinton is reportedly unhappy with his speaking assignment, according to Politico.com. He is scheduled to appear on Wednesday night when the theme will be “Securing America’s Future,” and speakers are to argue that Obama will be a better commander in chief than John McCain.

Clinton would rather talk about the economy and the contrast between the Bush administration and his own.

The former president’s legacy seems at the heart of some of the dispute.

Howard Wolfson, former advisor to Hillary Clinton, wrote a piece for the New Republic called “Smothering the Hatchet.”

“There is still work to do on the Bill Clinton front,” he wrote. “He feels like the Obama campaign ran against and systematically dismissed his administration’s accomplishments. And he fells like he was painted as a racist during the primary process.”

The Washington Post says polling shows remaining resistance to Obama. A new CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll has 27 percent of Hillary Clinton supporters saying they would vote for McCain.

In a new ad from the Republican National Committee again uses Hillary Clinton’s words against Obama.

“Senator McCain will bring a lifetime of experience to the campaign,” she said in the spring. “I will bring a lifetime of experience. And Senator Obama will bring a speech that he gave in 2002.”

It was a good line, but today Clinton responded: “Now I understand that the McCain campaign is running ads trying to divide us and let me state what I think about their tactics and these ads: I am Hillary Clinton and I do not approve that message.”
