The beginning of the end

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. ~Winston Churchill

We pledged to support her to the end. Our problem is not being able to determine when the hell the end is. ~Charles Rangel

The Hillary Clinton campaign deathwatch is officially on; the Cheyne-Stokes breathing has commenced.


Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton will endorse Senator 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 Mr. Obama.

No word on whether she has cut a deal with Obama in exchange for not dragging this out until Denver.

Thank God Megan you can now devote all of your time exculusively to policy issues, and you no longer have to cover Hilary and Obama's primary race. Is this yous last post about the Dem primary? Pls advise.

Cheers.

Love the headline, "Clinton Expected to End Campaign."

As if it was her decision to end it.

What "deal" COULD Hillary cut? She is an irrelevancy -- irritating, yes, but irrelevant

Anybody else humming "Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead"?

I have been singing, whistilng it all morning, no lie.

M. Hodak Love the headline, "Clinton Expected to End Campaign."

As if it was her decision to end it.

She could run as an independent (God forbid)

"Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton will endorse Senator Barack Obama on Saturday,"

This week on "Meet the Press":
Senator Hillary Clinton discussing her decision to end her campaign and endorse Barack Obama.
Also, Terry McCauliffe will present an opposing view, that she has not done so.
