Could the end be near for the Clinton campaign? Or will the race for the Democratic nomination go on, perhaps ruinously for the Democrats, as Bob Herbert explains nervously in this piece in the New York Times. As a member of the "Vast, Right-Wing Conspiracy", I can only hope.

The polls say that Clinton is narrowly ahead in Ohio and narrowly behind in Texas. Clinton has a solid lead in Rhode Island and Obama an even more solid lead in Vermont. What does it all mean? If at the end of the night on Tuesday we see a narrow Clinton win in Ohio and a narrow Obama win in Texas (with the results confusingly uncertain because of the system they have in the Lone Star State) and a solid Clinton win in Rhode Island and a solid Obama win in Vermont, even though the punditocracy will want to write Clinton off, I think she will have every incentive to go on, as the polls show she still has a solid lead in Pennsylvania. I just don't think they are going to quit if they see any path to victory, no matter how divisive.

Victor Davis Hanson reminds everyone that, no matter who becomes our next President, he or she will face the same problems our current President is grappling with and, despite all rhetoric to the contrary, those problems will not go away with the departure of George W. Bush.

As Prince Harry arrives back from Afghanistan, his older brother Prince William will soon be serving aboard a Royal Navy warship, according to this story.

Another USS New York is about to begin service in the U.S. Navy, this one built partially from steel recovered from the Twin Towers.
