Obama aides expect more party "superdelegates" to jump into the Illinois senator's wagon in the next few days and give him enough votes to get the nomination.

Robert Gibbs, a spokesman for the Obama campaign, said the senator could secure the nomination as early as Tuesday, after the Montana and South Dakota contests.

"If not Tuesday, I think it will be fairly soon," Gibbs said.

But the prolonged nomination contest has alienated the voters from both sides, which is seen as a dangerous sign for the party, which aspires to take back the White House after eight years of Republican rule.

As a result, how Obama and Clinton interact with each other in the post-primary period will have a great impact on the Democrats' chance in the November general election.
