The Telegraph explains the Clintons:

Advisers to Mr Obama had been dismayed by Mrs Clinton's defiant refusal to concede that he had won the Democratic nomination and statements by several of her allies that she had authorised them to say she would like to be named as his vice-presidential running mate.

Mrs Clinton, who is to announce she is dropping out to endorse Mr Obama, only decided to withdraw from the race after Congressman Charlie Rangel of New York, a loyal supporter, said she would damage the party if she continued to prevaricate.
