“If you want change, it's Hillary who has always been a world-class change-maker!” Clinton thundered as he addressed the crowd of several hundred. “I encourage you all to vote not once, but twice for Hillary this election!” (This is due to the “Texas two-step” process in the Democratic primary/caucus. )

Turnout was modest, though this was Clinton's 5th rally of the day, to be climaxed with a massive speech on the UTexas campus, later that evening. The crowd was primarily students, mainly female, with the median age approximately 20.

Yes, that's some Ron Paul yahoo with his sign.

The crowd response was good, but many students were still undecided after the stump speech. I talked with Betty L, an Education student at the college. She said that she was impressed with Hillary's experience in health care and education. Still, she will “probably decide at the last minute”, as she had been originally leaning towards Obama.

The overall impression? Bill gave a fine speech. He didn't shout, or sound angry, but was simply a passionate supporter of Hillary. That said, much of what Clinton said was stuff that we already knew, and it seemed that it would be a challenge to convince the undecideds one way or another. Even so, it was a good effort during the final push of the campaign.
