Clinton to formally endorse Obama

Senator Hillary Clinton plans to formally endorse Barack Obama on Saturday at a Washington event with her supporters and call on Democrats to unite behind their presumptive presidential nominee.

But her initial reluctance to back Obama and the continuing mystery over how exactly she will end her historic campaign had party faithful asking today: What is she waiting for, and what does she want?

Clinton has thanked her campaign staff for their work and discussed potential exit strategies with top advisers and supporters, who say she is resigned to not being the nominee. She has praised Obama for running a strong race. And she has vouched for his support for Israel before a leading pro-Israel lobbying group.

But the New York senator had yet to publicly acknowledge that Obama beat her for the nomination, leaving some of his supporters — and even some of hers — perplexed and disappointed.

Clinton could have been ‘‘far more generous’’ to Obama in conceding victory in her speech Tuesday night, US Representative Charles Rangel of New York, one of Clinton’s strongest backers, said on MSNBC today
