A smattering of March 4 primary headlines:
- McCain Clinches Race as Foe Concedes; Democrats Battle Over 2 Crucial States – NY Times
- Huckabee drops out – MSNBC
- Clinton projected to win Rhode Island; focus turns to Texas, Ohio – CNN
- Clinton Takes Rhode Island, Obama Wins in Vermont – Washington Post (ed. Headline should read, “Democratic candidates trade irrelevant states”)
- News Coverage Changes, and So Does Tone of the Campaign – NY Times
- Obama, Clinton duel for Democrats in Ohio and Texas – San Diego Union-Tribune
Apparently, it’s a “nail-biter” in Texas as every political commentator has decided to tell us at this point. Expect a Daily Show montage of that tomorrow night.
