  We present the status of the forward-backward charge asymmetry measurement
for W boson production using early Run 2 data collected with the Collider
Detector at Fermilab (CDF). Tracking for forward electrons is a critical
component of this measurement, and we describe a new technique which combines
the position and energy measurements from the calorimeter with position
measurements in the silicon detector to provide tracking and charge
determination for electron candidates. The performance of this algorithm is
described and the sensitivity for the W charge asymmetry measurement with Run 2
data is quantified.
