New poll in Texas: Clinton 50% - Obama 48%
Mon Feb 18, 2008 at 01:14:38 PM PDT
CNN has a new poll out today showing the race between Clinton and Obama is a tie in Texas.
In the survey, out Monday, 50 percent of likely Democratic primary voters support Clinton as their choice for the party's nominee, with 48 percent backing Obama.
But taking into account the poll's sampling error of plus or minus 4½ percentage points for Democratic respondents, the race is a virtual tie.
Twenty five percent of likely voters have also said they could change their minds within the next two weeks, so let's not get too confident. Be sure to sign up to do whatever you can to GOTV, whether it be making phone calls to Texas voters or donating what you can.
Update - Nisleib has informed in the comments that early voting begins in Texas tomorrow. Take nothing for granted and let's get to work.

Update III from jkennerl:
I work in an elections division in Central Texas, rather not say where...
I will tell you right now, if you vote EARLY and want to CAUCUS on ELECTION NIGHT, PLEASE SAVE YOUR VOTER REG cards that are stamped DEMOCRATIC or the PARTY AFFILIATION CARDS that they give you at the polls. These will be your ticket INTO THE PRECINCT CONVENTION/ CAUCUS.
Its likely that you will have other ways of getting in, but if you EARLY VOTE, you should try to keep those cards to MAKE SURE you can caucus.
