FORT WORTH, TX - After Nikki Haley's historic win in D.C. last night, Haley brought that momentum to her two Texas-sized rallies in the Houston area and Fort Worth. On the eve of Super Tuesday, more than 2,000 Texans packed Haley's rallies before heading to the polls tomorrow. Texas State Representative Patricia Harless gave Haley a warm welcome in Spring, and Mayor Mattie Parker introduced Haley in Fort Worth.
Here's what they're saying...
