Clinton Wins a Battle, Loses the War

Dig, Root, GrowThe Politico:
In a speech at New York’s Baruch College, Clinton praised Obama and signaled her cooperation in the fall. Obama “has inspired so many Americans to care about politics and empowered so many more to get involved,” Clinton said. “And our party and our democracy is stronger and more vibrant as a result.”
“I am committed to uniting our party so we move forward stronger and more ready than ever to take back the White House in November,” she said
Clinton was careful not to formally end her campaign, however, leaving her the option to speak out on issues and exert influence on Obama on specific issues or to position herself as his potential vice presidential nominee — a possibility she did not rule out during a call Tuesday with the New York congressional delegation.
“I will be making no decisions tonight,” Clinton said, saying she would confer with party leaders and supporters to “to determine how to move forward with the best interests of our party and our country guiding my way.”
