Clinton and Obama Meet in D.C. Today

Hillary Rodham Clinton met late Thursday with Barack Obama, a day after saying she would end her quest for the Democratic nomination and endorse the Illinois senator. A senior Democratic campaign official confirmed to NBC News that Obama delayed his departure from Washington Thursday night to meet with Clinton. Following their meeting, Obama flew on to Chicago.

Earlier, Clinton had disavowed efforts by some supporters who have urged Obama to choose her as his running mate. "She is not seeking the vice presidency, and no one speaks for her but her," communications director Howard Wolfson said. "The choice here is Senator Obama's and his alone."
