Early vote could decide Texas primaries before Super Tuesday

[SecularMotion]

Having battled in Iowa and New Hampshire, and this week in South Carolina and Nevada, the contenders for the Republican and Democratic presidential nominations are steadily marching toward Super Tuesday's biggest prize: Texas.

New York business mogul Donald Trump will ride into the Lone Star State ahead of the dwindling pack of Republican candidates in the polls, but with Houston resident Sen. Ted Cruz, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush hoping their strong ties to the state will give them a boost.

On the Democrat side, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be hoping to fend off surging Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, starting this weekend with a rally in Houston.

Yet, with early voting set to begin in Texas on Tuesday, many voters already may have cast their ballots by the time the campaigns officially roll in for next week's final debate before election day on March 1.

I think this year might be different. At least I am naively hoping so.

I call upon Molly I, Ann R, LBJ , please be with us in the coming two weeks.

Edit:

What we are noticing most are no signs, in yards or on cars. That speaks volumes. Seems as though not too many have already made up their minds.

Never seen anything like this before. 30+ years in DFW.

4. yard signs etc

It really is odd. I drove through the heart of Highland Park yesterday, specifically to see what they're thinking and I didn't see but two signs, both for the same state rep. Not one presidential candidate sign. HP usually has lots of signs for all the offices, heavily GOP, so expected a lot more. Same along Inwood... usually there are a number of vocal houses with BIG signs and I have seen nothing. As far as bumper stickers, I have seen both HRC and Bernie stickers in my neighborhood and a couple of Bernie yard signs around. I rarely see GOP stickers either though, and that is very strange. Only a couple for Carson and a couple for Trump.

5. We think they are waiting to be saved and very

ashamed and embarrassed. In Irving seeing some Bernie yard signs, a few bumper stickers for Bernie and 1 for Carson? White minivan with elderly woman driver???

Thanks for report from HP. I've been wondering if it was same I'm seeing in Bush's neighborhood, you confirmed for me. Happy dance!! Woohoo!!
