Liveblogging Hillary Clinton's Last Rally.

Say what you like about the many missteps of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign

, but she certainly picked an impressive venue in which to draw it to a close. Good afternoon from the splendid Great Hall of the National Buildings Museum -- those Corinthian columns in the linked photo are 75ft tall -- where Clinton is expected to arrive soon (at 12 noon eastern/5pm UK time) to officially endorse Barack Obama, thank her supporters, and perhaps give us a glimpse of her next move. There's a sizeable crowd, overwhelmingly women, here at ground level, with more Clintonites lining the galleries -Dell inspiron 1750 battery ,Dell studio 1555 battery

- and all of us grateful for the excellent air conditioning, since the humidity outside is at 87%, with a high of 36C/97F forecast for later today. (So, yeah, after this I'm going back to my flat to stand next to the air-conditioning unit, basically.)

There's a distinct end-of-the-road feel to today's event: young staffers posing for photographs in groups, while the travelling reporters who've been on board the Clinton plane for months discuss their imminent vacation plans. For the first time at any campaign event this election season, nobody asked to see my press card on the way in. As Ewen and Suzanne explain in today's Guardian, today's event follows a secretive meeting between Clinton and Obama in the home of a Washington senator yesterday that reportedly ended in smiles and laughter, but so far I haven't found a single supporter who shares that mood.Dell studio 1535 battery ,

"I'm not there yet," an emotional Patricia McGrath from New Jersey told me when I asked her if Obama could count on her vote in November. "There's a whole coalition of us who came up with the women's movement, and we've been waiting forever. She was the perfect woman for this. She's going to have to convince me that she's really for him, that this is bigger than her or him -- not just an endorsement." Defiantly worded flyers, produced independently by supporters, are being handed out. One's entitled "Why I Will Not Vote For Obama." ("Obama's VP auditions fist require candidates to demonstrate how much they hate the Clintons," it claims.)
