Where Who is Doing What...

• Hillary Clinton stopped in Texas Saturday and was on her way back to Ohio for Sunday and Monday appearances. She'll be in Beaumont and Austin Monday for a town hall and then a closer at a high school sports complex.

• President Bill Clinton had Texas on his schedule for Sunday and Monday. It's a whirlwind: Sunday: Houston, College Station, Marshall, Wichita Falls, and Abilene; Monday: Corpus Christi, Edinburg, Brownsville, Laredo, Eagle Pass, Del Rio and El Paso.

• Clinton had other surrogates working for her over the weekend — a group that includes Gloria Steinem, former Rock the Vote President Jehmu Greene, and actors Ted Danson, Melanie Griffith, Mary Steenburgen, and Amber Tamblyn.

• San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsome made a Houston stop for Clinton, joining a group announcing her endorsement by the Houston area Stonewall Democrats. That gang included Houston City Council Member and superdelegateSue Lovell, Teresa Herrin, who heads the Houston group, and actor Robert Grant of the TV show Queer as Folk. • Barack Obama has town hall meetings in San Antonio and Carrollton on Monday and then he and his wife will hold a rally in Houston. Before that stop, Michelle Obama will make stops of her own in Tyler and Austin. Obama plans to be in San Antonio on Election Night; earlier notices had him in Austin that evening.

• U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd and Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano are hitting the Texas bricks for Obama. The two were to appear together in Dallas and Fort Worth on Sunday, and Napolitano will make a stop on Monday morning at the University of Texas at El Paso. Actor Forest Whitaker, a Longview native, stopped in Marshall and Tyler on Sunday and plans a Beaumont stop on Monday. Actress Kate Walsh of Grey's Anatomy, stumps for Obama Monday and Tuesday at college campuses in San Marcos, Austin, College Station and Waco.

• Rep. Yvonne Davis, D-Dallas, says she'll support Obama, an endorsement that has some juice: She's a superdelegate.

• Former Texas Agriculture Commissioner Jim Hightower — who's not a superdelegate — is with Obama. And so is state Rep. Jessica Farrar, D-Houston.

• The Clinton camp offers some positioning spin to the media, which boils down to this: The senator from Illinois is outspending the senator from New York by a 2-to-1 margin in Texas, and if he doesn't run the table here and elsewhere on March 4, that means Democrats "are having second thoughts about him as a prospective standard-bearer."

This week's winners includes a number of folks who are, for all intents and purposes, done for the year because they have no major party opposition.

In Congress, it's a list of one: U.S. Rep. Silvestre Reyes, D-El Paso.

In the state Senate, it's two Republicans: Sens. Tommy Williams of The Woodlands and Craig Estes of Wichita Falls.

In the House, the Republican list includes Reps. Byron Cook of Corsicana, Charlie Howard of Sugar Land, Charles "Doc" Anderson of Waco, Jerry Madden of Richardson, Delwin Jones of Lubbock, and a new guy, Allen Fletcher of Tomball, who defeated Rep. Corbin Van Arsdale.

The House's list of Democrats with missions accomplished: Reps. Kino Flores of Palmview, Rene Oliveira of Brownsville, Aaron Peña of Edinburg, Dawnna Dukes of Austin, and Roberto Alonzo of Dallas. Several newbies are on the Democratic list of representatives-nearly-elect: Tara Rios Ybarra of South Padre Island, Marisa Marquez of El Paso, and Armando Lucio Walle and former Rep. Al Edwards of Houston. Each knocked off an incumbent, respectively: Juan Escobar, Paul Moreno, Kevin Bailey, and Borris Miles.

Roland Gutierrez was the only candidate who filed to run for the rest of Rep. Robert Puente's term in office, making a formality of that special election. He's also the only candidate on the ballot for a full term next fall. Unless something truly weird develops, the former San Antonio City councilman, a Democrat, will be the new representative from HD-119. Kenneth Besserman joins the Comptroller's office as an assistant general counsel. He left Sen. Rodney Ellis' employ late last year. Fresh meat at the Texas Youth Commission: Alfonso Royal, criminal justice advisor to Gov. Rick Perry, is the new chief of staff at TYC. He'll report to Richard Nedelkoff, the conservator of that agency. Spin cycle: U.S. Rep. Nick Lampson, D-Stafford, got more votes in his uncontested Democratic primary than his ten challengers altogether got in their noisy primary. He doesn't mention the race at the top of the ticket, which drew the numbers he's boasting about. He'll face the winner of a runoff between Pete Olson and Shelley Sekula Gibbs. In the Democratic primary, some big counties produced more than half of their total turnout during the 11 days of early voting. Among them: Bexar, Brazoria, Collin, Denton, Hidalgo, Lubbock, Travis, and Webb. On the GOP side, the biggies included Brazoria, El Paso, Hidalgo, Lubbock, and Webb. On a statewide level, 40.4 percent of Republicans voted early as against 44.8 percent of Democrats.
