SOUTHEAST TEXAS RECORD

With the Texas Primary only five days away, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama packed the Julie Rogers Theater in downtown Beaumont on Feb. 28.

Obama is the first candidate for president to personally campaign in Beaumont for more than 30 years. Obama and his opponent Hillary Clinton are fighting over Texas and Ohio, two big-delegate states with primaries on March 4. Clinton may be out of the Democratic race without victories that day.
