Here is a letter from Hillary Clinton sent out today to all supporters
Today, in every way that I know how, I am expressing my personal determination to keep forging forward in this campaign.
After our come-from-behind victory in Indiana, there are just 28 days of voting left. But we've never campaigned with the stakes as high or the time as short as they will be over the next four weeks.
And with you by my side, I'm going to keep fighting for what I believe in until every voter has had his or her say.
From the very beginning, you and I have counted on one another, working through every challenge and seizing every opportunity. That's not just the way our campaign works. That's the way America works.
As we enter the final four weeks of this contest, let's keep working our hearts out.
As we've told each other time and time again. There will be good days and not so good days in the course of this campaign. But there will never be a day that we can't count on one another.
As we enter the final 28 days of voting, I know you'll give it everything you've got. And you know I will do the same.
Thanks for being such a wonderful friend and ally,
Today is the day...email everyone you know in Indiana and North Carolina and remind them to go vote for Hillary

Clinton Is Right For Democrats: The Bend Bulletin endorsed Hillary yesterday: "[S]he is a candidate of proven substance. Even if you discount the value of her eight years as first lady — which, if nothing else, familiarized her with the position she seeks — her Senate tenure has been more than twice as long as Obama's… this country would be better off under the leadership of a pragmatic realist than a celebrity politician whose legislative record, such as it is, contradicts his oratory. In any case, she'd probably be more likely than Obama to defeat McCain in November."
