ST. LOUIS - People created quite a sight when they lined up nearly six hours before Hillary Clinton was scheduled to speak in Bridgeton, a suburb of St. Louis.

All of the commotion was to catch a glimpse of the presidential candidate.

If you passed by the Machinist Union near St. Louis Sunday, you might think the twisting lines of fans were waiting for a rock concert. But this was a different kind of sold-out performance.

At the rally, Hillary Clinton said, "We have to have someone who is ready to go toe-to-toe with the Republicans, because I don't think they'll be giving up the White House without a fight."

Hillary Clinton pushed for change at the town hall meeting outside St. Louis.

"We can have a country that once again delivers results of the vast majority of Americans," said Clinton.

Jay Todd thought it would be a good idea to arrive five and a half hours early to the meeting. He was the first in line, and he is concerned about the economy. "Unemployment is going up and I think people are looking for a change," said Todd.

Clinton discussed many hot button issues at the town hall meeting. Sharon Young, however, was just concerned with selling buttons.

"I think we have the largest selection on the planet," Young said.

Just days before Super Tuesday, Clinton hopes this Missouri visit will cause all Missouri voters to come out and vote, hopefully for her. Her visit comes on the heels of Sen. Barack Obama's visit Saturday and Republican Mitt Romney's visit Sunday.

Missourians will head to the polls Tuesday, along with voters in 21 other states to decide who they think should be the Republican and Democratic presidential nominees.
