Russert: Clinton cancels morning show appearances — Tim Russert, a colleague reports, just said that Hillary Clinton canceled her scheduled appearances on the morning shows tomorrow. — It's a sign of weakness she can ill afford at a moment when questions about whether she can continue are mounting.
Josh Marshall / Talking Points Memo:
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.

“THE BIGGEST FAIRY TALE EVER” IS ABOUT TO COME TRUE — Hillary Clinton held on to win the Indiana primary by a bit more than 20,000 votes, and two percentage points. Losing a neighboring state isn't usually a path to nomination, but in these circumstances it may well be enough effectively to end the hopes of his rival.
