Clinton suspending campaign

Clinton Likely to Suspend Campaign and Endorse Obama Friday

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is moving to suspend her campaign and endorse Senator Barack Obama, probably on Friday, according to a senior adviser to Mrs. Clinton.

Her decision came after Democratic members of Congress urged her Wednesday to leave the race and allow the party to coalesce around Mr. Obama.

What did I say? Clinton may have thought it was a good idea to try to force herself on the ticket, but party leaders and other supporters quickly put the kibosh on that idea. She may still get on the ticket, but it will be at Obama's choice, not Clinton's strong-arming.
