A few weeks ago, when Patty Solis Doyle was dumped to make way for the new effort to save the dying Hillary campaign, I said that to do that was dumb. At that time, it was clear to me and many folks that the Clinton campaign was losing its grip. Texas was supposed to be in the Clinton column and suddenly it came into play. On Tuesday March 4, 2008, the campaign magically revived itself with a slim margin of victory. Not quite the thirty points we had all been promised but hey, it was on the plus side.
I have always said that early voting does nothing for turnout. Early voters are those with time on their hands. Moreover, it appears that while I was right about Texas being within the margin of error (that means 4 points either direction) I remain right about early voting. In the early voting numbers, Obama led in Houston two to one. Nevertheless, by the time the paper storm had cleared. Obama’s lead went from two to one, to 56.15%. He ended with very few votes on Election Day as compared to the early vote. He closed the day with 227,886 votes to Clinton’s 176,724 votes.”*
