DENVER - Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are reportedly working on a deal to cut short a potentially divisive roll-call vote at the Democratic convention in Denver.

Officials involved in the negotiations say the idea is that at the start of the state-by-state roll call Wednesday night, delegates would cast their votes for Clinton or Obama.

But the voting would be cut off after a couple states, perhaps ending with New York, when Clinton herself would call for a unanimous backing for Obama from the convention floor.
