Clinton to Dems: get over it.

Addressing the concerns that a drawn-out nomination battle might hamper Dems in the fall, former President Clinton says "p-shaw." Or something along those lines:

That has stirred fears that the intense – often vitriolic – skirmishing between their campaigns may last until this summer's Democratic National Convention in Denver, leaving the winner severely wounded and vulnerable to defeat by presumptive Republican nominee John McCain in November.

But Sunday, Clinton reminded nearly 2,000 activists that he won election in 1992 despite emerging from the Democratic primary "so beat up, worked over and chewed out" that he at first badly trailed both President George H.W. Bush and independent candidate Ross Perot.

"There is somehow a suggestion that because we're having a vigorous debate … we're going to weaken the party in the fall," Clinton said.
