Hopefully you didn't skip your daily jog on the trail today so you could rush home and make dip for your debate viewing party. If you did, you missed the opportunity to share your famous french onion recipe with (temporary Austinite) Senator Obama while he got in a gingerly stroll. Photos courtesy of Romain Nayalkar.

Photo from Obama’s rally at The Backyard by Romain Nayalkar for Austinist.comWith all eyes focused on Texas and what could well prove to be a kingmaking March 4 primary, the statewide political machine has kicked into full gear. Whether it's a happy hour, camp out, or fundraising poker tournament, there's something going on just about every day of the week for Obama or Clinton supporters. Even those still rooting for under-underdog Ron Paul have something......

Senator Barack Obama delivered a rousing speech to thousands of die-hard supporters this past Saturday at the Backyard, touching on just about every hot issue at the core of next year's election debates.

We tried to take it all in, circling around the booths bundled under Austin Convention Center many, many times.

The latter was easy.......

Al Gore came into town Monday night in a Honda hybrid (in case you wondering) to give his "An Inconvenient Truth" slide show. It had a few extra slides different than the DVD, but for any layman who hadn't seen it, it naturally was an eye opener. Mr. Gore certainly has more stage presence than his Saturday Night Live persona (circa 2000) gives him credit for. Photos by Romain Nayalkar. If you can't view......
