"Hillary Clinton plans to drop out of the Democratic presidential race this weekend and throw her support behind Barack Obama, sources say, closing out a hard-fought and protracted primary after her opponent clinched the nomination with an avalanche of superdelegates Tuesday.
The Clinton campaign announced late Wednesday that it would be hosting an event in Washington, D.C, to “thank her supporters and express her support for Senator Obama and party unity.”
The campaign initially scheduled the rally for Friday, but later shifted it to Saturday “to accommodate more of Senator Clinton’s supporters who want to attend.”
One senior Clinton adviser told FOX News the New York senator and one-time favorite for the nomination told her campaign staff members Wednesday that Friday will be their last day, and that she plans to bow out of the race.
The announcement brought to an end the historic campaign pitting the first serious female candidate against the most viable black contender ever.
Clinton also told about 20 House Democratic supporters on a conference call Wednesday afternoon that it was “time to bring the party together.”
According to a senior Democratic source on Capitol Hill, she acknowledged there were “two wings in the party right now,” and it was her obligation to “unite them.”
Bullshit. She scared the wits out of them by not admitting defeat and finally got what she wanted. Hillary has known for months that she was fighting a lost cause and its been a game of chicken between her and the other liberal nitwits.
Whatever they promised her was to her liking, but I still can't see them allowing Bill Clinton back into the White House so the Vice Presidency can't be it. Then again, you have to be insane to think like the insane so who really knows.
