Final Weekend Polls are Tight!

(Moraga, California)
 
The drama mounts as we head for what might now be called "Junior Tuesday." With four primaries, and perhaps the end of one campaign on the line, the day is shaping up to be huge. Here are the latest polls from Real Clear Politics:
 

OHIO:
Clinton:  48%
Obama:  44%
Undecided:  8% 
 
TEXAS:
Obama:   45.8%
Clinton:   45.0%
Undecided:  9%
 
RHODE ISLAND:
Clinton:  53%
Obama:  38%
Undecided:  9%
 
VERMONT:
Obama:  53%
Clinton:  36%
Undecided:  11%
 
Texas ought to be a real showdown. This morning on my way to school, a Houston political science professor was on KCBS radio. He was talking about how over 1.5 million people have already voted early. Many of them are from suburbs of Dallas and Houston. He said those are often heavily Republican and independent areas, but Texas does not have primary registration by party.
 
So, as was the case in Virginia and Wisconsin, anybody can vote for anyone. GOP crossover votes are possible, and so far exit polling shows Obama up by 20 percentage points in these precincts.
 
Today I also received revised schedules that now show heavy campaign appearances for both Bill and Chelsea Clinton, and indication that Sen. Hillary Clinton is pulling out all the stops for a big win, either in Texas or Ohio, or perhaps both.
 

Not to be forgotten, Sen. John McCain could go over the top, or at least be teetering on the verge of having enough delegates for the GOP nomination. It is going to be an exciting week!
 
I will arrive in Dallas tomorrow and will be there through Wednesday covering the campaign.
