POLL: Should She Stay or Should She Go?  —  By a Large Margin, Dems Want Clinton to Remain in Race Even if She Loses Texas or Ohio  —  Democrats by more than a 2-1 margin say Hillary Clinton should stay in the presidential race even if she loses either the Texas or Ohio primary on Tuesday.
Roger Simon / The Politico:
Clinton plays victim and victimizer  —  The stage has been set for a Hillary Clinton comeback on Tuesday.  —  Nobody knows if she has the votes to do it, but the opportunity is ripe.  —  She not only is vigorously attacking Barack Obama but simultaneously portraying herself as a victim.
Michael Crowley / The New Republic:
The Day After  —  Tonight's results will matter a lot, of course.  But only up to a point.  It seems quite likely that Hillary will win Ohio and at least come close in Texas, and perhaps win the primary there.  Under most of the likely scenarios, it does not sound like she has any intention …

Ask Tough Questions?  Yes, They Can!  —  SAN ANTONIO It took many months and the mockery of “Saturday Night Live” to make it happen, but the lumbering beast that is the press corps finally roused itself from its slumber Monday and greeted Barack Obama with a menacing growl.

OBAMA TANGLES WITH THE PRESS  —  From NBC/NJ's Aswini Anburajan  —  SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Led by the Chicago press corps that has covered Obama for years, the candidate today faced a barrage of questions in what turned out to be a contentious news conference.

Blogging While Female: 5 Conservative Women Bloggers Talk About Gender Issues And The Blogosphere  —  Every so often in the blogosphere, on the Left and the Right, hostile debates over gender seem to rise up to the surface like a leviathan from the depths.  Some male bloggers tend to think women …

The $2 Trillion Nightmare  —  We've been hearing a lot about “Saturday Night Live” and the fun it has been having with the presidential race.  But hardly a whisper has been heard about a Congressional hearing in Washington last week on a topic that could have been drawn, in all its tragic monstrosity, from the theater of the absurd.

Lisa Schiffren / The Corner:
Are Women Dumb?  —  Whoa.  I just read the Charlotte Allen piece in the Washington Post Outlook section that Kathryn linked to Sunday.  (Unpromisingly Titled, “We Scream.  We Swoon.  How Dumb Can We Get?")  I want to believe that the Post got as much dissident mail on that one as it deserved.
Josh Marshall / Talking Points Memo:
THE BIG STORY  —  Zogby has Clinton moving back ahead of Obama in Texas (47%-44%), a six point net move from the day before, and tied in Ohio (44%-44%), a two point move.  Bear in mind that Zogby is actually an outlier in having it even close in Ohio and there now seems little doubt that …
