Former gubernatorial candidate Garry Mauro said he was surprised by the turnout of volunteers, many of whom were fixated on a "how-to-caucus" presentation in the 15,000-square-foot warehouse off Ben White and I-35 that formerly served as Texas campaign headquarters for the Kinky Friedman for Governor campaign of two years ago.

Mauro said Obama has yet to win a big state, and he suggested the Illinois senator's Congress Avenue headquarters was something of an extravagant expense, indicative of the kind of voters Obama appeals to.

Former President Bill Clinton arrived in Austin late Saturday to make the case for his wife to win Texas' crucial Democratic primary/caucus.

Clinton said Hillary was right for Texas and noted that the Lone Star State could decide the nominee.

Texans vote Mar. 4.

The former president talked about Hillary's role registering Mexican Americans to vote in the 1972 primary, and he thanked the Austin staff for what he said was a strong effort.
