So do they just throw in all the early votes to one precinct or something? Because at the current rate there'd be somewhere in the range of 70-80 million voters in the Texas Democratic primary, which I find fairly unlikely

We interrupt your Presidential coverage to bring you a special Congressional races update:

In Texas, John Cornyn is cruising to renomination over conservative nutcase Larry Kilgore 85% - 15%...   On the Democratic side Rick Noriega has 52% followed by Gene Kelly at 27%... In TX-22 Sekula-Gibbs leads the field with 27% followed by Olson at 24% and Talton at 17%... In TX-14 Ron Paul has a solid lead with 68%... Ralph Hall is also winning easily in TX-04 with 65%... all numbers very early

In Ohio, no results from OH-10 yet... Steve Austria is easily winning the Republican primary in the open OH-07 seat with 71%... all numbers very early

Next update when I feel like it

Huckabee is currently in the process of dropping out if anyone wasn't watching TV

Slate is saying that the Clinton people are seriously pissed about the Texas caucuses and are throwing some hefty accusations - this isn't the normal "wah wah caucuses suck". If anyone finds the link please post it

Huckabee basically quoted a bunch of Bible verses, compared himself to some old baseball player whose name I can't remember, compared himself to the people at the Alamo, thanked his staff, said how wonderful McCain was, and then left the stage until 2011

Your state took 4 days for a caucus.

No no - my state Republican party took 4 days. My Secretary of State was very prompt

I guess this will largely be Harris (14%) v El Paso (12%)?

I'll take that fight any day
