Texas Students Organize for Obama

There is no doubt that the March 4th contests in Ohio and Texas are going to be critical to the Obama campaign. In a tight race for delegates, surprising wins in these states could make an important difference. Again, it will likely fall on Generation Obama to push the Senator to victory in these states. It turns out, students in Texas area already heeding the call to action:
On the University of Texas campus students for Obama are already organizing - hoping to push him to victory on March 4 primary.

Austin City Councilman Mike Martinez is leading the troops.

"We think we can win Texas, we know we can win Texas. But we can't do it without you guys," Martinez told of group of students.

Nearly 150 students putting their hearts into political action - attending a Valentine's Day rally for volunteers.

"The whole campus is really excited about it, people wearing shirts putting up signs and everything like that," Obama supporter Bryan Farmer said. "It's going to be a huge youth involvement come March 4th. I think it's going to be a huge blowout for Barack Obama here in Austin and probably the whole state."
Here's hoping Bryan is right!
