WASHINGTON (CNN) – Hillary Clinton will "endorse" Barack Obama for president Saturday, and use her final campaign speech to urge supporters to back him in November, a source close to Clinton familiar with her prepared remarks, tells CNN.
"She say the stake are high in this election and it's imperative that the party come together behind Obama and to put a Democrat in the White House," said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to speak candidly about the speech.
Clinton is scheduled to deliver the endorsement at a campaign rally in the nation's capital at noon. Obama is not expected to attend.
"She'll also talk a bit about the historic nature of her campaign and the progress made on behalf of women," the source added.
Most exit polling from the Democratic primaries and public polling shows that Obama needs to convince Clinton's women supporters that he will support issues that she championed during her 17 month run for the White House.

Democrats don't be fooled by McCain's paid supporters. Operation Chaos is still going strong. However, the Democrats are smarter than they think.
Sorry Hill, NO WE CAN'T. We're not ready to make nice. Cue the Dixie Chicks. Don't worry Hill supporters. We'll take the DNC's lemons and make lemonade.
