Some Democrats, particularly Obama’s supporters, have voiced concern that the hard-fought, drawn-out race is already hurting the party’s chances to win in November.
The Illinois senator told the crowd not to worry.
“As this primary has gone on a little bit long, there have been people who’ve been voicing some frustration,” Obama said.
“I want everybody to understand that this has been a great contest, great for America. It’s engaged and involved people like never before. I think it’s terrific that Senator Clinton’s supporters have been as passionate as my supporters have been because that makes the people invested and engaged in this process, and I am absolutely confident that when this primary season is over, Democrats will be united.”

The contest between Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton for Texas delegates appeared to be tightening, as counting from Saturday’s caucuses dragged into Sunday.
Obama led Clinton 58 percent-42 percent in results that had been reported through Sunday night, but nearly half of the delegates had yet to be counted.
Obama’s campaign predicted he would win the overall delegate race in Texas because of caucus support, even though Clinton narrowly won the popular vote in primary balloting March 4.
