Over 11 000 people came to show support for Clinton at UC Davis (12 hours notice)

The human line swirled around the Pavilion at UC Davis on Tuesday, January 15, unlike anything the school had ever seen before. Thousands and thousands of students and community members gathered, buzzing with excitement to see one man: President Bill Clinton. Davis has not seen anything like this before: over 11,000 people came to show support for President Clinton. What was so amazing was the fact that the event had only been announced 12 hours before it was to happen, and the students and supporters organized themselves to show an overwhelming outpour of support in such short notice.

Once inside, Bill's genuine speech and the jubilant Davis Band led the students in a riveting Rally for Change. Bill Clinton's assertion that his wife is ""completely trustworthy and will never crack under fire" brought loud cheers, with people fervently waving their "Hillary for President" signs high in the air. The overwhelming support shows that students are ready to dive into what is sure to be a truly exciting race to the White House.

Only Obama is supposed to attract large crowds. LOL! No wonder you're trying to force Bill into sitting it out.

Hey, you KNOW the crowd will double for Oprah. Be happy with that.

And maybe they'll show up for Ted Kennedy.

who says Hillary can't pack out a university

But I'd still go see Bill speak. Just so I can say I saw him in person.

I was at a similar event the next day in Napa--Clinton brought out the crowds. Again, for the most part the event had only been publicized that day! I had heard about it the night before via email. The line stretched down 2-3 city blocks. The crowd was overwhelmingly supportive of Bill, and even more so when he spoke on behalf of Hillary. I hope we can continue to grow the momentum for Hillary's campaign!

There has never been any doubt.

I feel like a lot of good people were hurt in 2004 and this year for that inevitability.

:(

cause you certainly do earn your salary. Very busy bee.

Musta been toward the end of the speech.

(Great crowd, though.)
