Political Remainders: President Clinton in Texas, Obama HQ Opens Doors, and CNN Picks Campbell Brown

CNN today announced that Campbell Brown, NBC News' White House correspondent during President George W. Bush's first term and host of a new prime-time news program that's set to debut this month, will anchor next Thursday's debate. CNN chief national correspondent John King and Univision anchor Jorge Ramos will serve as panelists asking questions of the candidates during the debate.

Former President Bill Clinton is hitting Texas pavement this weekend, and will be in Austin tomorrow night for the grand opening of wife Hillary's state campaign headquarters at 701 East Ben White. The evening affair is open to press and the public, though RSVPs are strongly recommended. [RSVP]

Earlier tomorrow morning, Senator Obama's campaign headquarters in downtown Austin is holding its Grand Opening party, replete with your chance to volunteer and become a Texas Precinct Captain. In a somewhat bizarre turn of events, this time they're asking you to bring "cookies/soft drinks/granola bars and anything else you can find in your cupboard."
