A Hectic Final Day In The Lone Star State

It's a good thing I decided to come to Texas for the final stretch of the March 4th primaries, because apart from one Hillary Clinton rally in Ohio this morning, all of the action is here in the Lone Star State.

The focus obviously is on the Democrats right now, as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton slug it out. The pressure is certainly on Team Hillary. Two wins in Ohio and Texas and this race won't be over for weeks, maybe months.

One or two losses in Ohio and Texas and I bet the rumblings begin late Tuesday night about her having to get out of the race in favor of Obama The Nominee.

Clinton starts her day in Ohio, with a rally in Toledo, then flies to Beaumont, which is east of Houston near the Louisiana border. This evening, she has a televised rally which will be broadcast on the internet and on a regional cable channel in Texas.

Hillary wraps up her appeal to Texas voters with a rally in the state capital of Austin.

Obama has three main events today, starting in San Antonio. Then it is off to the Dallas suburbs and then a final rally in Houston.

Obama will spend election night in San Antonio, while Hillary is in Columbus, Ohio.

As for the Republicans, yes, don't forget about them. John McCain swoops back in today for a pair of events in Lubbock and Waco. He also has rallies on primary day itself across the state.

Mike Huckabee has the busiest schedule of anyone except maybe Bill Clinton. Huckabee hits five cities today (Bill has seven on his schedule) as The Huck goes to Dallas, Abilene, Midland, San Antonio and Houston.

Unfortunately, this is not New Hampshire! If I'm going to cover at least Obama and Clinton, there will be some serious driving involved. If I even daydream about adding in a McCain or Huckabee event, I might need to charter a small plane.

Get the goggles and my leather flying cap!
