Clinton prepares to concede and back Obama
Hillary Clinton was set formally to end her historic bid for the White House today and urge her supporters to rally behind rival Barack Obama, a show of support Democrats hope will help heal the party fractured by a bitter battle for the presidential nomination.
She spent much of Friday working on her concession speech. Aides described the process as painstaking and emotional but said there was no question Mrs Clinton would enthusiastically endorse Mr Obama. Unqualified support from Mrs Clinton could help Obama win over her ardent working class and older female supporters.
