From The New York Times: The Long Goodbye: Clinton Suspends Her Campaign and Endorses Obama

“The way to continue our fight now, to accomplish the goals for which we stand, is to take our energy, our passion and our strength and do all we can to help elect Barack Obama the next president of the United States.

“I endorse him and throw my full support behind him.”

She asks her supporters to work as hard for him as they did for her. She vouches for him, saying she had a front-row seat to his candidacy for the last 16 months and saw his strength, determination, grace and grit. “He has lived the American dream,” she says. And now, “our paths have merged.”

“I am standing with Senator Obama to say, ‘Yes we can,’” she says, adopting his slogan, which some of her supporters on the campaign trail had converted into a chant for her, “Yes she will!”
