Turnout up on both sides, but Clinton-Obama race has numbers on record pace

"A down-to-the-wire Democratic contest has electrified voters across Texas, who are voting in record numbers in advance of the March 4 primaries.

Six days into early voting – and with a week left – about 360,000 voters in the state's 15 largest counties have cast early or mail-in ballots in the 2008 Democratic primary, compared with 120,000 in the Republican primary.

"It's the intensity. The energy we're seeing," said Diana Broadus, election judge at one of Dallas County's busiest early-voting locations, in Oak Cliff.

"They are coming in ready to vote. They want to make sure their vote is going to count."

And they're doing so at a record pace."
