With the primary just two weeks away, the Democratic candidates are working hard for Texas votes. Senator Hillary Clinton has already made a tour of South Texas, while Senator Barack Obama will visit San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, and possibly Corpus Christi this week.

The focus is heavy on Texas and Ohio these days, but let's not forget that there are three Democratic primary contests tomorrow: one in Washington state, one in Wisconsin, and one in Hawaii. Wisconsin looks to be the battleground while candidate relatives are stumping in Hawaii, which must be a great (albeit unexpected) gig to have in February.

Senator Joe Biden is in Pakistan as part of a team monitoring the parliamentary elections which are taking place there today, and he has a simple recommendation to Congress and the Bush administration: if the vote in Pakistan is rigged, we should cut off military funding.

The Houston Chronicle's Douglas MacKinnon argues that neither Governor Rick Perry or Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison are likely choices for McCain's running mate.

Mike Huckabee, from time to time, plays Boston's "More Than A Feeling" at campaign events. Boston's lead singer and songwriter, Tom Scholz, would really like him to quit it. It figures: all this talk about change and the future in Democratic politics while Republican arguments are largely about who can reclaim Reagan's mantle, and Reagan was the GOP King Of The Eighties; and here, on a really slow news weekend, a big story is about something from 1976 and Huckabee's failure to appropriate that for himself.

The Texas GOP has filed a records request to gain access to Lt. Col. Rick Noriega's military records. The National Guard Lt. Col. and Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate denied the Texas GOP's request, stating instead that he will release his military records to all Texans in the coming weeks.

This is a bummer. The Times executive editor Bill Keller has announced that newsroom staff will be reduced by 100, out of a little more than 1000 employees total. The good news, if you can call it that, is that the reductions will be made first “by not filling jobs that go vacant, by offering buyouts, and if necessary by layoffs,” according to Keffer. So I guess that's at least better than dropping the axe and kicking out 100 of your close and personals.

For this episode of On The Record, we speak with Karen Guerra, the Democratic candidate for judge in the 16th District Court, Denton County.

Joe Jaworski has a really sharp ad ready to roll out on Tuesday for the start of early primary voting. Video after the jump.

The Houston Chronicle's Rick Casey presents a few interesting scenarios for Texas on March 4th. Among them: someone could win the popular vote but because of senate district breakdown, lose on delegates. For campaign professionals, the mind must quail at the possibilities.
