HMMM  —  NBC just reported that Hillary Clinton is holding no public events tomorrow.  We'd earlier reported that she'd cancelled her morning show appearances.  But that's not that surprising.  There's not a lot good to talk about.  But canceling all public appearances, if that's what they're saying, is a different story.
Todd Beeton / MyDD:
The Tie Has Been Broken  —  Yep, I'm still up.  Sorry it's taken me so long to weigh in with a sort of post-mortem on tonight, this has taken me longer to compose than I had expected and I now realize I should have put an overnight thread up.  I look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts - Todd

A Phony ‘War on Science’  —  There are few things in American politics more irrationally ideological, more fanatically faith-based, than the accusation that Republicans are conducting a “war on science.”  —  According to Hillary Clinton, the Bush administration has declared “open season on open inquiry.”
Wall Street Journal:
The Reformers Who Ruined Politics  —  Nearly halfway to choosing the next President, voters are witnessing an amazing spectacle in addition to the Barack Obama-Hillary Clinton scrum.  All three of the contenders are avowed believers in ever more restrictive and convoluted campaign finance laws.
Andrew Sullivan / The Daily Dish:
Black Voters Did It  —  Here's what now seems obvious: African-American voters killed the Clinton candidacy.  It is a fitting end to the Clintons' campaign and an almost Shakespearean coda to their career.  The Clintons were exposed in their long-running exploitation and reliance on minority votes.
