With Republicans rallying around John McCain, Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama could imperil their party??s quest for the White House by engaging in a prolonged nomination fight expected to sap money and organizing strength from their campaigns, political analysts said.

The fractious battle prompted an unusual intervention yesterday by Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, who said Sens. Clinton and Obama should consider making a deal to avoid a showdown at the party??s national convention.

??I think we will have a nominee sometime in the middle of March or April. But if we don??t, then we??re going to have to get the candidates together and make some kind of an arrangement,? Dean reportedly said.

While the Democrats battle one another, Arizona Sen. McCain can raise fistfuls of money and begin to focus his attacks on Obama and Clinton, who will be forced to keep their campaigns focused on securing the nomination. McCain emerged as the presumptive GOP nominee yesterday after former Bay State Gov. Mitt Romney bowed out of the race.

??This is a dream for McCain and a nightmare for the Democrats,? said political strategist Michael Goldman. ??The argument from the Republicans will become, ??Look at the Democrats, they can??t even get along with each other; how are they going to govern the country.?? ?
