Tom Edsall is reporting that tomorrow night may be the end of the Clinton campaign:

Hillary Clinton has summoned top donors and backers to attend her New York speech tomorrow night in an unusual move that is being widely interpreted to mean she plans to suspend her campaign and endorse Barack Obama. Obama and Clinton spoke Sunday night and agreed that their staffs should begin negotiations over post-primary activities, according to reliable sources. In addition to seeking Obama's help in raising money to pay off some $20 million-plus in debts, Clinton is known to want Obama to assist black officials who endorsed her and who are now taking constituent heat, including, in some cases, primary challenges from pro-Obama politicians.

Ben Smith first reported that the Clinton campaign is "shedding staff," but then reported that "Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee says the advance staffers haven't been let go or told to find other jobs, just sent home. They aren't typically paid for off days. 'We just haven't figured out our schedule past Tuesday,' he said." And Marc Ambinder reports that Clinton staffers are being urged to quickly turn in their expense receipts. All of this is consistent with what I heard last week, that some staffers who had been hopscotching from state to state were being told to not expect to be redeployed to a new state.

It's too bad Dick Cheney so abused the term, because all these maneuvers look like the actions of a campaign in the last throes.

Maybe, maybe we will finally all be able to focus exclusively on beating McCain and racking up the huge Congressional majorities we want so President Obama will be able to get us out of Iraq, pass a national health care plan, fix the damage of eight years of misrule by Bush, and steer our country in a new direction that ameliorates poverty and inequality, expands opportunity, brings about a safer world, and creates an environmentally sustainable future.

Whether that happens depends on Obama, it depends on those of us who will be counted on to work hard for November, and it depends on Hillary Clinton, for as Rahm Emanuel said a few months ago:
