Among the crowds at Hillary's Houston Watch Party is a group of 10 or so older ladies. They have flown in from all over the country to knock on doors, work polls and phones. Their loyalty to the former first lady spans 50 years. These are the veteran members of Hillary's childhood brigade.

Hillary's Houston Watch Party doesn't officially begin for a few more minutes, but the crowd is thin. Less than 2 dozen supporters sit at a few tables here at the Home Plate restaurant downtown. Where have all the supporters gone? To the precinct caucuses.
Air 11 pictures show long lines of people waiting to get into their caucuses. Clinton's campaign wants them to stay exactly where they are. The folks here at the party are out-of-towners. Volunteers who flew in from Boston, New Orleans and other cities. Even the Mayor of Tuskegee, Alabama drop...

I caught up with the two sisters at the watch party for their father at the Westin Hotel on Alabama in the Galleria.
Adrienne Gordon and her sister Patricia Emmett said they shot the commericial in Dallas last month.
"We got a phone call saying coome to Dallas to shoot a commercial for your dad," Adrienne said. "So we went."
