Senator Hillary Clinton has abandoned her quest to become the first woman elected President of the United States. VOA's Kent Klein reports from Washington, where Clinton called on an enthusiastic crowd of supporters to join her in backing fellow Democrat Barack Obama's presidential campaign.

An exuberant Barack Obama has offered a cheeky prediction he would be president until 2016, as he tried to lend his winning streak to his home city of Chicago's Olympics bid.

Now that Clinton has finally decided to concede the election she can do both Obama and herself the most good by including the following talking points:

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) - host of the private meeting last night between Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton - tells CNN the two met at 9 pm for about an hour with no one else in the room and mentioned they were laughing.

Congratulating Barack Obama on becoming the first African-American to lock up the Democratic presidential nomination, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice described his candidature as an "extraordinary expression of inclusiveness".

Barack Obama has clinched the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. Hillary Clinton's campaign confirms she will be host an event on Saturday to thank her backers and express support for Barack Obama. Does this mean a bid for Vice Presidency?

If Hillary Clinton really wanted to be Barack Obama's vice presidential pick, what course would make sense for her?

A month ago today, I wrote about John McCain's YouTube problem. New media tools allow ordinary Americans to fact-check his factless speeches and to compare the "new" McCain to the "old" McCain":

Republicans are wondering who will John McCain select as his Vice President. While the decision is not made yet many are raising the name of Sarah Palin as an ideal candidate to run with McCain. Sarah Louise Heath Palin, 44, is the governor of Alaska.

Senator Obama delivered the following victory speech on June 3 (as prepared) in St. Paul, Minnesota, saying "The end of one historic journey... the beginning of another."

MSNBC has announced that the Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. Clinton just says "I will be taking no decisions tonight, I want to hear from you." Go to my website, she says and consult me.
