From David Brooks in the NY Times: In short, Hillary Clinton’s presidential prospects continue to dim. The door is closing. Night is coming. The end, however, is not near. Last week, an important Clinton adviser told Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen (also of Politico) that Clinton had no more than a 10 percent chance of getting the nomination. Now, she’s …

Hillary Clinton says that wouldn’t have stayed in Rev. Wright’s congregation. Sen.

About a hundred Hillary-supporting diarists are “striking” over at Daily Kos, refusing to blog at the site due to virulent anti-Hillary sentiment from the site’s Obama fans.

Hillary isn’t the only one being embarrassed by her supporters. Barack Obama’s camp is distancing themselves from this sermon by Obama’s former minister Jeremiah Wright, who compares Obama to Jesus.

Hilariously tragic or tragically hilarious? Painful. Just really painful.

For somebody who rarely backs down, Hillary was Miss Contrite yesterday. Apology 1 – On Bill’s comparison of Obama and Jesse Jackson: “I want to put that in context.

Hillary Clinton appeared on The Daily Show last night in what may turn out to be her last such occasion as a presidential candidate. It’s all up to Texas and Ohio today.

“A president Obama should offer the first SCOTUS vacancy to Senator Clinton. It’s perfect for her: she gets to lord it over others, she’s a sharp lawyer, it appeals to her vanity, she doesn’t have to get elected, and as a sitting senator, she’d be a shoo-in. The base would love it.” – Andrew Sullivan, responding to a column by …

The latest poll result: (Washington) Barack Obama has taken clear leads over Hillary Rodham Clinton among white men, middle-income earners and liberals, allowing him to catch his faltering rival in their race for the Democratic presidential nomination, a new national poll shows.

Hillary Clinton drew boos at last night’s Democratic debate when she again dissed Barack Obama for plagiarism, saying he represented “change you can Xerox.” Obama turned the boos into applause when he countered, “What we shouldn’t be spending time doing is tearing each other down. We should be spending time lifting the country up.” After making a thinly veiled reference …
