Clinton's Speech  —  I probably shouldn't write any more about this woman and her staff.  Suffice it to say that I've found her behavior over the past couple of months to be utterly unconscionable and this speech is no different.  I think if I were to try to express how I really feel …

Josh Marshall / Talking Points Memo:
FRIGHTENINGLY SAD  —  Here at TPM HQ we're watching John McCain's prebuttal to Sen. Obama's speech tonight.  —  And, man, I'm curious to hear what other people think, but I really feel like he would have served himself much better by just going to ground for the evening.
Michael Tomasky / Guardian Unlimited:
No shame, no gain  —  US elections 2008: On a night when Obama made history, Clinton's reaction was dangerously abrasive and selfish  —  The lead story tonight - my “lede,” as we spell it here - should have been about the remarkable fact that a black man has been nominated by a major party …

FRIGHTENINGLY SAD — NOW ON VIDEO!
Adam Nagourney / New York Times:
Next on Agenda Is Clinton's Role  —  Senator Barack Obama heads into the general election with obvious advantages: He is a Democratic candidate running in a sour atmosphere for Republicans, in a contest where voters are hungry for change and coming out of a campaign in which he filled arena after arena with supporters.

Noam Scheiber / The Stump:
That Outrageous, Delusional Clinton Speech  —  I'm sure plenty of people had strong reactions to that speech Hillary just gave.  For my money, the two most outragerous sentiments expressed were (and this is from my rough contemporaneous notes):  —  1.)  “What does Hillary want? ...

She's Still Here!  —  He thought a little thing like winning would stop her?  —  Oh, Bambi.  —  Whoever said that after denial comes acceptance hadn't met the Clintons.  —  If Hillary could not have an acceptance speech, she wasn't going to have acceptance.
Discussion: Althouse, Don Surber and Vox Popoli
Andrew Sullivan / The Daily Dish:
The Clintons Threaten  —  The speech tonight was a remarkable one for a candidate who has lost the nomination, though not remarkable for a Clinton.  It was an assertion that she had won the nomination and a refusal to concede anything to her opponent.  Classless, graceless, shameless, relentless.
SteveK / TVNewser:
“Russert Has Spent 20 Years Building Credibility.  All Of A Sudden He's Taking Questions From [A] Daily Kos Blogger?”  —  Tonight may be the last of the primaries, but the discussion of the cable news coverage will no doubt continue for months to come.  MSNBC has bore the brunt of much of the criticism …

Spiegel Online:
‘We Have Done Terrible Damage’  —  Should Barack Obama win in November, many think that Republican Senator — and Bush critic — Chuck Hagel could become part of his cabinet.  SPIEGEL spoke with him about the current administration's mistakes and the disarray in his own party.

From Greek mythology, Obama learned a lesson  —  WASHINGTON - To understand how Barack Obama won the presidential primary, you have to look at what he learned when he lost.  —  Obama defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton solidly in the Iowa caucuses in January, but five days later she beat him, painfully and unexpectedly, in New Hampshire.

Fouad Ajami / Wall Street Journal:
Why We Went to Iraq  —  Of all that has been written about the play of things in Iraq, nothing that I have seen approximates the truth of what our ambassador to Baghdad, Ryan Crocker, recently said of this war: “In the end, how we leave and what we leave behind will be more important than how we came.”
Discussion: GINA COBB
Sam Stein / The Huffington Post:
Pelosi, Reid, Dean To Go Public: Democrats Need To Endorse  —  In the absence of a concession speech from Sen. Hillary Clinton on Tuesday night, top figures in the Democratic Party are set to go public, urging all uncommitted officials to declare their presidential affiliations.
