Senator Hillary Clinton earlier today suspended her campaign for the Presidency.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Saturday suspended her presidential campaign and vowed to “work my heart out” to help Sen. Barack Obama win the White House, but while thousands of her supporters cheered, hundreds also booed, loudly.

After a divisive, five-month battle for the Democratic nomination, in which the former first lady cast her opponent as a political neophyte woefully lacking the skills and experience needed to handle the world’s most demanding job, many of her supporters were not yet ready to let bygones be bygones.

Even though the vanquished candidate warned them to move on because “life’s too short,” many made clear with their boos that they will need some healing time before they can support Mr. Obama.

Hillary “SUSPENDED” her campaign but note:

1. Hillary did NOT release her pledged delegates

2. Barack Obama did NOT accompany Hillary in the announcement

3. Many supporters BOOED Obama during the speech

Hillary went through the motions, made the perfunctory concession speech and will do the “standard” campaigning for Obama. She talked about Obama for about five minutes and her campaign about 25.

There are still the issues of her campaign debt and the Vice Presidency. From today’s speech it looks like Obama nor the DNC will be supporting her in either of these endeavors.

Flap’s take is that Hillary and the Clinton Cabal will continue to undermine Obama behind the scenes and will await an Obama GAFFE.

The race is NOT over until the Fat Lady sings in Denver.
