In case you missed it, there are actually four states voting on March 4th.  Texas and Ohio are the major delegate prizes, but voters in Vermont and Rhode Island will also be heading to the polls. 

Right now, it’s expected that Barack Obama will cruise to an easy victory in the Vermont primary and Hillary Clinton might score her final victory of the campaign in Rhode Island.  But that state is actually growing closer by the day.

For the Republicans, the main question will be if John McCain can secure the official 1,191 delegates he needs to be declared the GOP nominee and force Mike Huckabee from the race.  Huckabee is making his stand down in Texas and hopes to do well there.

Meanwhile, there will be Congressional primaries in Texas and Ohio as well.  Congressman Ron Paul will be on the ballot twice, both as a candidate for President and defending his seat in the U.S. House.  Up in Ohio, Congressman Dennis Kucinich is also facing down several serious challengers in his re-nomination fight.
