Hillary Clinton Saturday will end her historic bid to be the first woman President of the United States. "Senator Clinton will be hosting an event in Washington, DC to thank her supporters and express her support for Senator Obama and party unity," the campaign said in a statement.The farewell event was initially scheduled for tomorrow -- then put back a day "to accommodate more of Senator Clinton's supporters who want to attend."
The decision came late in an emotionally exhausting day, after Clinton bade farewell to her distraught, weeping staffers at her suburban Washington headquarters and spent hours hearing from friends and Democratic power brokers.
