Tony Snow cancels an appearance. The fact that his doctors don't want him to travel makes the story sound ominous.

Clinton loyalists plan a protest outside the DNC Rules Committee meeting that will decide the disposition of the delegates from Florida and Michigan. While this does not look good for the Democrats, it is still possible that all the differences will be patched up and the party will unite around a nominee. Hillary Clinton, as evidenced by this letter she sent to all the superdelegates, still believes she should be the nominee. But the question of party unity will only be answered when we see her response to the Rules Committee decision, if they do anything less than seat all the delegates and award her the delegates based on the popular votes in those states. If, after an unfavorable ruling and the end of the primary process on Tuesday, Hillary is still behind in delegates and popular votes (and while it is impossible for her to catch up in delegates, depending upon how one counts the votes it can be argued that she is ahead in the popular vote), but she vows to fight on to the convention, then one can begin to imagine a scenario of disunity that severely impacts the party as it heads into the November election.

Bob Novak says Clinton's behavior has caused some inside the Party to sound like Republicans when they talk about her (and her husband).

In Nepal, the King is told to beat it, as lawmakers declare a Republic (looking at the Hammer and Sickle flags in the photo, I'm guessing it will be a People's Republic).
