Clinton campaign death watch (contd)

Now they've stopped talking about her. From today's International Herald-Tribune:

"While Senator Barack Obama gingerly commended his rival's "perseverance," the shrinking candidacy of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has all but vanished from the television set, sidelined by bigger news. Even her victory speech in Kentucky on Tuesday, shown live on cable news, was given perfunctory attention - a footnote to someone else's page in history. When MSNBC called the Kentucky primary early in the evening, Tim Russert, host of "Meet the Press," said her success with women and blue-collar voters "means Senator Obama has a lot of work to do" and sketched a rehabilitation plan. He did not mention Clinton by name in that disquisition."
