...assigned to lobby with the Afterschool Alliance delegation from Harris County, Texas, which consisted of 17 local education officials, 10 kids and a paid, professional political consultant. We walked into the office of Chet Edwards, a Democratic Congressman from Waco who declared himself completely on our side. That, however, did not stop the PowerPointed kids.

From powerful Clinton insiders to the lowliest precinct delegate for Hillary, it was obvious over the weekend that the Clintonites were not going to let Obama tip the scales without a fight.

"She's in this thing for the long haul. The way I look at it, this thing is basically tied," he told the Waco Tribune...

She wandered into Waco, Texas, that afternoon, uninspiring before an unimpressive crowd. In San Antonio that night, her stump speech collapsed into unstructured chaos.

Huckabee has focused his Texas campaign on rousing his evangelical core constituency in the Texas Bible Belt - conservative towns like Tyler in east Texas; Waco, home to Baylor University; Plano, a conservative, affluent Dallas-area community; and Fort Worth, where Huckabee attended the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in the 1970s. It is his efforts in Fort Worth that concern advocates like Miller; there SBOE District 11 member Pat Hardy, a former schoolteacher, curriculum adviser and moderate Republican, is facing a challenge from fellow Republican Barney Maddox, a urologist and ardent supporter of creationism. With no Democratic candidate on the ballot...
