Clinton bows out and delivers promise to strongly back, and to throw ‘full support’ to Barack Obama.
Hillary Clinton as expected today ended her bid for the White House and formally endorsed Barack Obama during a speech Saturday at the National Building Museum in Washington.
She was unequivocal in her praise for Obama, and the speech is being seen by pundits as a way to heal rifts in the party after a hard-fought battle.
Last night Senators Obama and Clinton Meet in Washington DC privately (see video below):
Her departure from the presidential race today does mark the end of the longest and most important thread of the Clinton story.
In a letter on her Web site, Mrs. Clinton expressed her support for Mr. Obama in this way: “Over the course of the last 16 months, I have been privileged and touched to witness the incredible dedication and sacrifice of so many people working for our campaign. Every minute you put into helping us win, every dollar you gave to keep up the fight meant more to me than I can ever possibly tell you.”
Mrs. Clinton continued, saying: I “extend my congratulations to Senator Obama and my support for his candidacy. This has been a long and hard-fought campaign, but as I have always said, my differences with Senator Obama are small compared to the differences we have with Senator McCain and the Republicans.” …[MORE]
[Hillary Clinton's Concession Speech]
[Obama -- Thank You Hillary!]
Message From Howard Dean - DNC Chairman | Make A Contribution
We’ve just finished the most exciting primary contest in a generation, and Barack Obama is our presumptive nominee for President.
Senator Clinton ran an outstanding campaign and we all should be deeply thankful for the passion, energy, and ideas that defined her from the start. Our country and our Party are better off today because the incredible amount of work she and her supporters put into her campaign. We thank Hillary for her leadership, her commitment to America and the Democratic Party.
It can be tough to lose a hard-fought race — I know, because I’ve been there. But no matter who you supported, you’re part of a bigger family — one that shares the same hopes, values, and dreams. This campaign is so much more than any of us or any candidate. It’s about the future of our country, and our collective desire to take it back for the people who make it great.
Over the next few weeks and months, our family will reunite. It starts today, and I’m asking for your help. Reach out to your friends and family, your neighbors and coworkers, and anyone else who may have fought hard for what they believed in. Bring them in and remind them that we’re a family — that together, we can bring about fundamental change and elect a Democratic president.
We have to be unified if we’re going to bring universal health care to America’s families, to help fight global climate change, to ensure a woman’s right to make her own medical decisions, and to end the war in Iraq.
We have to be unified if we’re going to put a Democrat back in the White House.
Over the past few years, we’ve all been part of the work to rebuild the Democratic Party in all 50 states.
When the primary came around, we found ourselves with two once-in-a-lifetime candidates. Barack and Hillary crossed the country inspiring activists, building organizations, and registering new voters. In state after state, we saw record turnout that dwarfed the Republican’s; we saw hundreds of thousands of Americans become involved with a Democratic campaign for the first time; and millions of voters saw just how passionately we feel about the future of our country.
After years of rebuilding and a historic primary campaign, our Democratic community is stronger than ever before. And with Barack Obama, we have a candidate who has inspired millions of people to believe again.
But change doesn’t come easily — and no matter how much we’ve prepared, no matter how inspiring our candidate, no matter how badly we want it to happen, we have to fight for it every step of the way. Absolutely nothing will be handed to us over the next five months — we have to do everything we can to make sure Barack Obama is our next President.
We’ve just seen two brilliant candidates run the most exciting primary in decades. Now we need to come together and finish the job.
I’m looking forward to it.
Howard Dean

You’ll like this.
This morning someone forwarded me an email sent by the arm of the Republican Party that raises money for their Senate candidates.
The subject of the message was “Democrats Win Landslide Victory,” and the writer, Republican former Senator Bill Frist, admits: “I have a real fear of waking up to this headline after the elections this fall.”
He goes on to explain fears among Washington power brokers about Barack Obama’s grassroots support and voter registration efforts.
He’s right to be worried — we’re bringing new people into the process, and Obama supporters are organizing in communities across the country like never before.
But it can’t happen without your support. Frist was raising money ahead of tonight’s financial reporting deadline — the same deadline we face.
This is the last opportunity to have your donation counted for May, and the last chance to have a meaningful impact on the final three primary contests.

Here’s a little bit more from Frist’s email:
From: Senator Bill Frist, M.D.

Subject: “Democrats Win Landslide Victory”Dear Republican Supporter,
I have a real fear of waking up to this headline after the elections this fall. [...]
In key states, news accounts indicate Democrats are outpacing Republicans registering voters. We also know Barack Obama’s campaign is utilizing the Internet to raise record amounts of money to support his campaign and Democrats nationally … all in the hope that new voters and record resources will produce a Democrat landslide victory this fall.
There’s so much at risk, and conservatives I talk with from all across the country are feeling the rumblings of “what could be.” [...][...] I ask for your immediate help in supporting Republican candidates running for U.S. Senate by making a contribution of $10, $25, $50 or even $100 to the NRSC. [...]

What’s amazing about this message referencing Barack Obama is that it’s not from the McCain campaign. It’s not even about the presidential race.
It’s about the forces of the status quo, who don’t want to change the way Washington works, worried about the prospect of ordinary people taking their rightful place in a political process that is too often dominated by lobbyists and special interests.
They’ve seen the writing on the wall, and they know that when Barack is the nominee, we’re going to continue building a movement for change to elect Barack Obama and bring about change from the bottom up at every level of office.
There are only a few hours left before tonight’s reporting deadline, so please give whatever you can now:
