In a marbled speech, on a sunny afternoon, in Washington D.C. today, Sen. Hillary Clinton suspended her campaign for the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. Warnings of the wounded-but-writhing Republican machine and calls of party unity led to a climatic “Yes We Can” endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama.

As the AP reports:

The former first lady, who as recently as Tuesday declared herself the strongest candidate, gave Obama an unqualified endorsement and pivoted from her role as determined foe to absolute ally.

“The way to continue our fight now to accomplish the goals for which we stand is to take our energy, our passion, our energy and do all we can to help elect Barack Obama, the next president of the United States,” she said in a speech before cheering supporters packed into the ornate National Building Museum, not far from the White House she longed to reign in.

“Today as I suspend my campaign, I congratulate him on the victory he has won and the extraordinary campaign he has won. I endorse him and throw my full support behind him and I ask of you to join me in working as hard for Barack Obama as you have for me,” the New York senator said.
