Obama in Austin
Several thousand people (Obama-maniacs and the Obama-curious) are expected to jam Auditorium Shores in Austin this afternoon to see Democratic sensation Barack Obama. He's in Texas to raise money for his presidential bid. And his mid-afternoon rally looks to be something of a sensation.
One Texan paying very close attention to Obamarama is former Land Commissioner Garry Mauro, a leader in the Hillary Clinton team. The dustup between Clinton and Obama forces is still hot. Mauro's not shy about where he is in the fight for the party faithful.
Here's his take: "Two years ago, we were not sure a woman could be elected president. The polls clearly show that’s not the case anymore. The same polls don’t show that’s the case for an African-American. What we’re seeing at this point is the process of the American people deciding whether they are ready to elect an African-American president or vice president. And it’s a fascinating thing to watch."
Let the brawl continue.
