Clinton's out of the race: Endorsement is set for Saturday

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton will endorse Sen. Barack Obama on Saturday, bringing a close to her 17-month campaign for the White House, aides said. Her decision came after Democrats urged her Wednesday to leave the race and allow the party to coalesce around Obama.

Clinton's aides said she would "express her support for Senator Obama and party unity" at an event in Washington that day.

One adviser said that Clinton would concede defeat, congratulate Obama and proclaim him the party's nominee, while pledging to do what was needed to ensure his victory.

I can only imagine Hillary doing this if she is getting something out of the deal

i briefly got to hear Rush yesterday ... he was laughing his ass off, saying, "so, we KNOW where Hilary is going to be Saturday.. anybody know where Obama's going to be? No? Well.. she is sure controlling the news cycle still."

i'm not believing it until she offers her delegates to the man ... until then, she's still in it.
