Sen. Clinton formally suspended her campaign and endorsed Sen. Barack Obama, saying she throws "her full support" behind his candidacy for President. Her speech sought to begin the process of unifying the party as it moves toward the general election, and it succeeded in doing that.
Her speech was in part a redemption of her "non-concession" last Tuesday night, after Obama had clinched the nomination. That speech was largely panned, even by some of her ardent supporters, as ungenerous at best. She now seems ready to campaign for Obama to try to mobilize the voters that supported her behind him. Let's hope so. What divided them as far as policy was concerned was minimal; what divides them both from Sen. Four More Years is huge.
