CHILL OUT....The hot topic of conversation right now is the proposition that a long, drawn-out Democratic primary runs the risk of destroying the party and putting John McCain in the White House.  So for the good of the country, Hillary should withdraw.  —  Now, this might be true.

It's Rush Wot Won It  —  In the days running up to these last primaries, Rush Limbaugh told his national audience of conservatives to vote in the Democratic race. … It turned into a pretty hot meme in Texas, and on Monday, while Rush was out, guest host Mark Davis scored an interview with Bill Clinton.

Tom Bevan / Real Clear Politics:
Was It Rush?  —  I've been doing a number of radio interview this morning and the question keeps popping up: did Rush Limbaugh put Hillary over the top in Texas?  Some quick, back-of-the-envelope math based on the exits shows:  — Republicans represented 9% of the electorate in Texas.
Atrios / Eschaton:
Nasty  —  Sadly, I agree with Chris that this is going to get nastier.  The campaigns and candidates themselves may not get nasty, but I get the sense that supporters of the various candidates are getting angrier at the other camp.  Sure a lot of this is just relatively harmless virtual …

Kevin Drum / Washington Monthly:
VITRIOL....Atrios: … This has sort of taken me by surprise too.  I'm reminded of the old saying that the smaller the stakes, the more vicious the battle.  Obama and Clinton are obviously different in some important ways, but overall there just aren't any huge gaps between them, either in ideology or governing theory.

Josh Marshall / Talking Points Memo:
FINAL THOUGHTS  —  The big headlines tonight are now in focus.  Hillary takes three of four primaries, and the two big states.  Yet the delegate spread didn't budge.  The possibilities seem to range from a high-single digit pick up for Hillary to the possibility of a net pick up for Obama.
