Clinton, Obama target early Texas voting

AUSTIN, Texas - Voting on primary day is so yesterday.



"Early voting is easy voting," said 47-year-old Robin Schneider, one of more than half a million Texans who has taken advantage of a state law that permits ballots to be cast before election day in the state's hotly contested Democratic primary between Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton as well as the Republican contest.

The two Democratic presidential rivals have put a premium on coaxing voters and others like her to the polls early, with success.

Which is why Bill Clinton stood on the back of a red Chevy pickup truck in El Paso recently, pointing to a nearby early voting location and asking supporters to cast a ballot for his wife.
