Twenty-nine-year-old Chelsea Clinton will marry her long-time love Marc Mezvinsky, an investment banker. Chelsea and Marc became friends within the DC circuit, as his parents, former Iowa congressman Ed Mezvinsky and Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinksy served as Democratic Reps. Clinton and Mezvinsky also attended Stanford together and their friendship turned romantic in 2005.

Mezvinsky's father was released from federal prison last April after serving a sentence for his role in a Nigerian scam. ABC News reports that the Mezvinkskys were also close to Bill and Hillary Clinton and that Ed Mezvinsky used his connections to the Clintons and his son's relationship with Chelsea to persuade people to give him money to participate in the scams. Among those scammed was his mother-in-law.

The couple sent out an e-mail the morning of Friday, Nov. 27 saying: "We're sorry for the mass e-mail but we wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy Thanksgiving! We also wanted to share that we are engaged! We didn't get married this past summer despite the stories to the contrary, but we are looking toward next summer and hope you all will be there to celebrate with us. Happy Holidays! Chelsea & Marc."

Over the summer, false rumors swirled that they were getting married on Martha's Vineyard.

"She is an American of tremendous stature who will have my complete confidence, who knows many of the world's leaders, who will command respect in every capitol, and who will clearly have the ability to advance our interests around the world," Obama said.

Obama also announced his intention to keep current Defense Secretary Robert Gates in his post and relayed his other nominees to his security team including Susan Rice as ambassador to the United Nations, Eric Holder as attorney general, retired Marine General James Jones as his national security adviser and Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano as homeland security director.

Obama said he and his newly appointed security team believe "now is the time for us to regain American leadership in all of its dimensions" and to strike a balance between "maintaining the strongest military on the planet" while employing "the wisdom of our diplomacy."

Obama leads McCain by 47 percent to 42 percent, a 3-point decline since Hillary Clinton's withdrawal from the race. However, Obama has a couple things working in his favor. For one, he holds a 52 percent edge among independents, to McCain's 30 percent. He also has a 51 percent to McCain's 36 percent amongst female voters.

"Obama's significant lead among independents puts him over the top, and that's a problem for McCain," pollster John Zogby said. "McCain is going to have to appeal to independents in some way to win, and right now he has a lot of work to do."

Voters main source of concern for the candidates is Obama's lack of experience versus McCain's age, who, if he becomes elected, will become the oldest president at 72-years-old.

The experience question is a hurdle for Obama, but so far voters seem to have other things on their mind like change," Zogby said. "Age is an issue for McCain, but it doesn't appear to be an overwhelming problem."

"A few hours from now I will step on stage in Detroit, Michigan to announce my support for Senator Barack Obama," Gore said in an email sent to his supporters. "From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to make sure he is elected President of the United States."

Obama told the press that although Gore offered Obama support throughout the campaign, he did not openly back any Democratic hopeful.

"Obviously, he hasn’t been speaking exclusively to me. He obviously spoke to senators Clinton and Edwards and others," Obama told the press.

Gore has kept politics at arms-length since 2000.

"Over the next four years, we are going to face many difficult challenges — including bringing our troops home from Iraq, fixing our economy, and solving the climate crisis,” Gore said. “Barack Obama is clearly the candidate best able to solve these problems and bring change to America.”

At the moment, Obama is the oddsmakers' -200 favorite to win. Of course, you can't count out McCain at +150. We all know how quickly a race's momentum can change. Just ask Hillary Clinton, who was all but assured the Democratic nomination as little as a year ago. Today, the best she can hope for is a spot as Obama's running mate, a sad consolation prize given her once high hopes. Clinton is at 3/2 to become her vanquisher's right hand, followed by Virginia Senator Jim Webb at 3/1. Read the remainder of The Real Race Begins in Bodog Nation.

Gennifer Flowers and Paula Jones, who claimed they shagged the Arkansas governor before he took the presidential office, are now trying to cash in on their escapades. The pair have created a website that will offer videos of their thoughts on Clinton as well as the juicy details of what (or who) went down.

"It's just a way we can get our story out there in our own words without someone making their own interpretations or corrections," Jones said.

Clinton told House Democrats during a conference call Wednesday that she will express support for Barack Obama's candidacy and congratulate him for becoming the party's nominee.

"Senator Clinton will be hosting an event in Washington on Friday to thank her supporters and express her support for Senator Obama and party unity," Clinton’s communications director Howard Wolfson said.

With Clinton officially out of the running for President, Bodog’s oddsmakers have set the presidential betting lines with Obama the clear favorite to win -260 and John McCain listed as the longshot with +175 odds.

Clinton, however was not overlooked by oddsmakers. With the Vice Presidential nominee odds up, Clinton is a clear favorite to win with 7/4 odds. Other Democratic VP candidates include Al Gore (22/1), Jim Webb (9/4), John Edwards (6/1) and Michael Bloomberg (30/1).

Conservative nominees include Bobby Jindal (7/1), Jeb Bush (35/1), Ron Paul (35/1), Lindsay Graham (8/1) and again, Michael Bloomberg (25/1).  Bet on the  Presidential election in the Bodog Sportsbook today.

Amid conflicting headlines of speculation, Clinton has made allusions to, but not officially conceded.

"Now, the question is: Where do we go from here?" she asked supporters gathered at lower Manhattan's Baruch College on Tuesday. "And given how far we've come and where we need to go as a party, it's a question I don't take lightly. This has been a long campaign, and I will be making no decisions tonight."

Clinton's supporters on Tuesday night reportedly chanted, "Yes, she will! Yes, she will!"

"This has always been your campaign," she said. " I hope you'll go to my website at HillaryClinton.com and share your thoughts with me and help in any way that you can. And in the coming days, I'll be consulting with supporters and party leaders to determine how to move forward with the best interests of our party and our country guiding my way."

The question however is — how will Clinton move forward? With rumblings that she may share the ticket with Obama for the VP slot, Clinton has still not made any clear decisions. Calling on her troops to visit her site to offer advice and donations, we have yet to see a Clinton concession or bid for the Vice Presidency.

Now, Gershon has sicked her lawyers on "Vanity Fair," demanding that the publication insert "a retraction and correction."

In the letter sent from her lawyers, Lavely & Singer, the Gershon camp insists that Purdum's article "outrageously insinuates that Ms. Gershon has had an inappropriate sexual relationship with President Clinton. This is absolutely false."

The letter also notes: "Gershon has only been in the same room as President Clinton on three occasions," and that others were present in the room with her. TMZ reports that the letter also jabs that in the Vanity Fair article, "Rumor-mongering was substituted for fact-checking."

"The AP tally was based on public commitments from delegates as well as more than a dozen private commitments. It also included a minimum number of delegates Obama was guaranteed even if he lost the final two primaries in South Dakota and Montana later in the day."

However there are conflicting reports as to whether Clinton will finally give up her fight. The "New York Times" reports, "Clinton’s aides said that, should Obama cross the line Tuesday night — and be declared at least the presumptive nominee — their candidate would acknowledge his accomplishment, without going so far as to drop out."

However the "Boston Globe" paints a more decisive picture of that state of the Clinton bid reporting that she will "gracefully exit the stage and won't take her fight to the convention."

Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe commented this morning that once Obama reaches the majority of delegates, "I think Hillary Clinton will congratulate him and call him the nominee."
