Clinton Supporters Say She's Not Doing Enough For Obama

Minutes after pushing through the rope line to thank Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton for "all that you do," Robin Shaffer said she was worried. She feared that the senator she respected and admired for being tough and experienced had not done all that she could to unify Florida's fractured Democratic Party while campaigning here on Thursday for her former opponent.

"It was good that she said my supporters need to now support Barack Obama," said Ms. Shaffer, 46, reflecting on Mrs. Clinton's speech before about 700 people. But, she added, "I wanted her to repeat that one more time."

Many who had supported Mrs. Clinton's run for president shared Ms. Shaffer's opinion. Democrats who said they had recently accepted that Mr. Obama, of Illinois, would be the Democratic presidential nominee greeted Mrs. Clinton's 30-minute speech -- her first rally in Florida on his behalf -- with warmth but also demands for more.
