The Burger Activities Center in Austin, TX was nearly full with passionate Hillary Clinton supporter’s tonight, itching to hear their favorite “Woman of the Hour” speak.

The line began earlier in the afternoon, and when the doors opened at 6 p.m., the crowd began to shuffle in. A surprisingly represented demographic at the rally was younger men; looking around the crowd, young men were easily spotted, a trend that hasn’t always been consistent with Hillary supporters.

Many speakers came out for Clinton before the Senator herself, including popular former Texas State Senator Gonzalo Barrientos who acted as a moderator before the big speech.

“That other fellow inspires, Hillary delivers!” Barrientos shouted to an ecstatic crowd. “She’s got the experience, she’s got the brains, she’s tough.”

Texas Democratic State Representative Valinda Bolton spoke of the influence former Texas Governor Ann Richards had on her, and women across the world; Bolton went on to connect the power both Richards and Clinton share in empowering women.

“She’s makes real change for real people seem real possible.”

Clinton arrived on stage around 8:40 p.m., and spoke for around 25 minutes. Initially joining her on stage were daughter Chelsea, and friends and actors Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen.

Going through the motions smoothly and swiftly, Clinton touched upon all of the key issues so heavily discussed in this race: health care, education, Iraq, the economy and, as has become a custom in the Clinton campaign, she spoke of her experience.

Clinton threw in a reference to her controversial “3 a.m.” television ad, saying at the climax of her speech, “who would you hire to answer that ringing phone in the White House at 3 a.m.?”

The rally had an energized crowd, and a tired-looking Clinton. Surprisingly, no direct punches were thrown at Obama by Clinton herself, though the opening speakers took a few swings.

The polls are too close to call, and the atmosphere in the Lone Star State is tense with anxious political supporters and volunteers. Throughout the next 24 hours, the world will be watching to see if this rollercoaster ride has reached its end.
