As I predicted a few weeks ago, Hillary Rodham Clinton has abandoned the race for the President of the United States today. I was right by sheer luck more than skill, but there it is.

Here’s the story:

Hillary Clinton will abandon her White House bid at the end of the week and throw her support to rival Barack Obama, her campaign said Wednesday after she bid an emotional farewell to her loyal staff.

The announcement came a day after Barack Obama secured enough delegates to clinch the Democratic nomination and as the party coalesced behind the Illinois senator to take the fight to Republican John McCain.

Clinton had refused to concede Tuesday and said she would deliberate in the coming days, but the brief message from her team had an air of finality about her doomed bid to become the first woman president.

Now, it’s on to the general election.
