Clinton To Drop Out Saturday

Several major news organizations have declared that Sen. Hillary Clinton will drop out of the race for the Democratic nomination Saturday. They also report that she will endorse her rival, Sen. Barack Obama, who clinched the nomination Tuesday night. Finally.

Clinton’s aides said she would "express her support for Senator Obama and party unity" at an event in Washington that day. They also said that she would concede defeat, proclaim Obama as the Democratic nominee, and offer her services to assure his victory against Sen. John McCain--the presumptive Republican nominee--in November.

Apparently, she came to this decision after she spoke to some of her supporters on Capitol Hill about her future in this race.

Even her most prominent and loyal supporters will likely announce their support for Obama in the coming days.

Her concession speech on Saturday will end the record-breaking 16-month primary contest between these two historic candidates. After that, the talk of the town will be whether Obama will pick her as his running-mate.
