Hillary Bows Out, Endorses Obama!!!

On Saturday Hillary Clinton said the magic words Democrats have been waiting for all week: “I endorse him and throw my full support behind” Barack Obama.

“When I started this race, I intended to win back the White House and make sure we have a president who puts our country back on the path to peace, prosperity and progress,” she said. “And that's exactly what we're going to do, by ensuring that Barack Obama walks through the doors of the Oval Office on January 20, 2009.”

Obama Claims Nomination
