...days before Clinton arrived for this rally, there was another one just down the hill from UT in front of the Texas Capitol: Barack Obama's. And there, hundreds of placards emblazoned "Change We Can Believe In" popped up from a crowd estimated between 15,000 and 20,000. Obama spun his magic in an hourlong speech that was lacking the wonkish details about nuclear proliferation and educational testing offered by Bill Clinton. The crowd was enthralled if not inspired...
Clinton's audience on Wednesday night is filled with enthusiastic Hillary supporters - the most vocal are AFSCME union members clad in bright green T-shirts - but the crowd is not much larger than the 4,000 who gathered on the same spot Saturday to hear Republican renegade Ron Paul. In the minutes before Clinton appears, a band of Obama supporters works the crowd passing out stickers and flyers, some students even leave before Clinton appears and, as he speaks, it is clear the Clinton campaign has concerns about the Obama grassroots organization...
...take back the votes she won," Clinton says, referring to Texas' complicated system of primary-then-caucus. Clinton urges Hillary supporters to sign up to attend the precinct caucuses held after the primary vote on Mar. 4.

...there is an indication of how those caucuses might go, it is on the periphery of the crowd. As Bill Clinton works the rope line, longtime Austin Democratic activist Glenn Maxey is passing out his campaign flyers to people as they leave. A former state representative and the first openly gay member of the Texas Legislature, Maxey is running for county tax collector. Tonight he has passed out some 3,000 flyers. At the Obama rally six days ago he had given out 5,000 and ran out of them. Running an "insurgent" campaign against a longtime incumbent...
...gets to say Hussein? At the Oscars, host Jon Stewart took innuendo about as far as it can go, saying that Barack Hussein Obama running today is like a 1940's candidate named Gaydolph Titler. But that reference, served up to a crowd that presumably swoons for Obama, got laughs. So maybe the H-word is more like the N-word: you can say it, but only if you are an initiate. Blacks can use the N-word; Obama supporters can use the H-word...
