While not firmly confirmed, both the Chris Bell campaign as well as the Democratic heavy-hitters are doing all they can to make sure the stars align this week.
Bell's campaign has said that President Clinton, a Democrat, wants to come to Texas for its man.
"Schedules permitting, he's coming," said Jason Stanford, Bell's campaign manager. "It's all just a matter of calendars now. The demands on (Clinton's) time right now are astronomical."
Clinton has stepped up national appearances for Democrats amid speculation that the U.S. House could flip to a Democratic majority.
Bell plans to host U.S. Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, the Democrats' 2004 presidential nominee, at a Friday fundraiser in Austin.
Also on deck, are President Bush coming in for Tricky Rick Perry on November 6th. Carole Strayhorn, and I had to laugh at this, "campaigned Monday with Reform Party members, including Ross Perot's 1996 running mate, Pat Choate". What... who?
