She got rocked in Iowa last week, and things aren't looking good in New Hampshire tomorrow.
I guess that means it's time for the smartest woman in the world to choke up on camera, and tug at the heartstrings of folks that are easy prey for such passion plays.
For those fortunate enough to have missed it, ABCNews.com has posted a video of Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) getting a bit misty Monday about how things are going on the campaign trail lately.
Kate Snow, who apparently posted a blog concerning the event at ABC's website, appears to have fallen for Hillary's crying game hook, line and sinker (emphasis added throughout):
The Senator from New York was sitting at a big table in Cafe Espresso in Portsmouth, New Hampshire with 16 undecided voters, mostly women, warmly and calmly taking questions.
Then she took an unexpected question from a woman standing in the back.
"My question is very personal, how do you do it?" asked Marianne Pernold Young, a freelance photographer from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. She mentioned Clinton's hair and appearance always looking perfectly coifed. "How do you, how do you keep upbeat and so wonderful?"
Here's Hillary's response:
You know, I think, well luckily, on special days I do have help. If you see me every day and if you look on some of the websites and listen to some of the commentators they always find me on the day I didn't have help. It's not easy. It's not easy, and I couldn't do it if I didn't passionately believe it was the right thing to do. You know, I have so many opportunities from this country just don't want to see us fall backwards.
(Eyes welling up a bit) You know, this is very personal for me. It's not just political it's not just public. I see what's happening, and we have to reverse it. Some people think elections are a game, lot's of who's up or who's down, [but] it's about our country , it's about our kids' futures, and it's really about all of us together.
You know, some of us put ourselves out there and do this against some pretty difficult odds, and we do it, each one of us because we care about our country but some of us are right and some of us are wrong, some of us are ready and some of us are not, some of us know what we will do on day one and some of us haven't thought that through enough.
And so when we look at the array of problems we have and the potential for it really spinning out of control, this is one of the most important elections American has ever faced.
Snow clearly liked what she saw:
After the event, Pernold Young told ABC News that she was glad Clinton showed emotion.
"She allowed herself to feel," Pernold Young said. " I was surprised and I said, 'wow there's someone there.'"
Another woman in the group, Alison Hamilton of Portsmouth, New Hampshire said she, like most of the people in the group, had been considering Obama.
But after seeing Clinton become emotional, she said she was going to vote for Clinton.
"Her whole thing today really convinced me but that really did clinch it for me," Hamilton said. "She's very impressive."
I guess Snow wasn't interested in the possibility that the smartest woman in the world - along with her handlers as well as her husband who loved to get misty whenever he discussed how he felt others' pain - might have choreographed this whole emotional display.
That would have been too much like journalism I guess.
Moving forward, with the New Hampshire primaries tomorrow, it will be very interesting to see whether the rest of the media fall for this nonsense as easily as ABC did.
Stay tuned.

I don't know whether she was genuine or not, and I don't care. There are plenty of people out there who think that they can accurately perceive someone's true soul by what they see on TV. They think that the camera can never lie to them. Then there are other people who make a good living at the expense of all those who think the camera never lies to them.
If you base your vote on what the camera shows you, you get what you deserve.

Democratic Women
January 8, 2008 - 08:33 ET by ThisnThatMB, these are Democratic women, who generally have the following traits:
They think all men are cruel and dumb, and totally unnecessary
They think they are so smart and elite
They think the world owes them so much for all sorts of current, past, and future slights and "unfairness"
The only thing that could cure all past ills is a woman "in charge" -- if only men would allow it
Given that, it's not surprising the reaction from these women to Hillary's stunt. I'm just surprised she didn't pull it off before now.

January 7, 2008 - 19:34 ET by CatherwoodMore sugar! About a month ago a fiend of mine who is a political whiz of sorts said that very soon The Ice Queen would play the emotion card. He said she would play on voter sympathy by playing the roll of the victim (a typical liberal strategy which works on many fronts) who is being beaten up or the victim of lies and distortions (see Vast right wing conspiracy). He said she would probably cry or break down emotionally on some big stage and make a tough comeback by playing the underdog making the comeback. I remember when my friend said this because he did it in a very offhand way at a time when he had no point to make. He knew then what we should all know now: Hillary is going to play all the cards and we she be ready for all the cards if we want to retain a chance in hell of keeping her out of the White House. Hillary is far from out folks....this is just the beginning and she's playing the voters and the media as an angler would play a well-hooked fish.

Sure, there was divorce, and I'm sure there have been affairs, but they were the exception by far, not the rule.
Bal, I had a personal experience to illustrate what can happen.
January 7, 2008 - 23:53 ET by Hunter12I went to the same university my older sister did. On her advice, I signed up for a psych class taught by a professor she'd had and loved (not in a biblical sense). She said he was a buttoned-down type but really knew his stuff. My first day in the class, in a very large dimly-lit lecture hall with a spot on the stage, we waited for about five minutes into the class period, when, from the back of the hall, this guy ran down the steps and jumped up on the stage. He was wearing a long-sleeved, skin-tight, pullover sweater and he proceeded to lecture the entire period, gripping the edge of a table he sat on to keep his biceps flexed. It was really kind of funny to see someone in his late fifties trying to come off as so youthful, especially in a pysch class. What had caused the change? In the three years between my sister and I taking the class, the guy had divorced his college sweetheart and married a student 35-years his junior, a former graduate assistant.

Hillary found in a poll among simps if she bawls she disarms Obama and wins.
The problem is liberals have these psychological traits:
1. Mommy divorced daddy and bawled fake tears to get child support and put the screws to him.
2. Mommy bawls when the liberal kids were bad to try and manipulate them with guilt.
3. For Mo Dowd, the bawling wife keeps the husband liberal women are having affairs with.
Tears only stimulate fury in liberals when coming from the dragon lady of their past. This is not grinning Kate Snow plodding along a "feel your pain line" to "feel my pain line", this is those pierced, tramp stamped, doped up abandoned children who hate mommy for blowing the home apart. This is the void successful liberal women who have been conned by jerk aduterer males who promised them the moon and then blamed it on old Hillary for having to stay with the family.
Bill did this to dozens of women and there are thousands of these angry women out there.
For the 2 Democrats concerned with issues in New Hampshire seeing Hillary bawl will only drive them to Obama as they are thinking what a normal person would in, Hillary is going to bawl when Putin pushes her around? When bin Laden pushes her around?
New York gets nuked and Hillary will bawl and wait until Chicago gets bombed?
Hillary is throwing this race now as she has no position nor is trying any strategy. Bawling is a looser option.

January 7, 2008 - 20:45 ET by stratman"Then she took an unexpected question from a woman standing in the back."
There is nothing, I repeat nothing, that is not scripted, rehearsed, polled and anticipated with Hilary... except she is tanking and it all started with her campaign's attack on Tim Russert. (OK. She actually began to tank since day one at Wellesley College) Like any good narcissist, Hillary can muster a misty eye when she feels personally slighted, but never shed a tear for another. In fact, note she never actually shed a tear.
"How do you, how do you keep upbeat and so wonderful?"
With Hillary sinking in the polls, her team will float the "woman" issue to gain sympathy/votes. Of course, Mz. Clinton would never resort to sexism, but she'll let her underlings do it for her. Kinda like that woman "Republican" Huckabee that says he won't release a negative ad then screens it for all the news corp in attendence. Meeeoooow!
Back to HRC... I wonder if the secret service details and the military personnel that have been verbally abused by Hillary in the past would refer to her as "upbeat and so wonderful"?
"She allowed herself to feel," Pernold Young said. " I was surprised and I said, 'wow there's someone there.'"
Yes, a lying, thieving, subverting, insulting, catty, mean-spirited, petty, power-mad, manipulative, narcissistic, angry Socialist someone. (Aren't those today's criteria for Time's Person of the Year or a Nobel Peace Prize recipient?) She's only a hop, skip and a jump from Multiple Personality Disorder or Borderline Personality Disorder (the absolute most frustrating people to try and help)?
"But after seeing Clinton become emotional, she said she was going to vote for Clinton. "Her whole thing today really convinced me but that really did clinch it for me," Hamilton said. "She's very impressive.""
Wow! Nice criteria. Edmund Muskie cried in New Hamshipre in 1972 and was toast in the presidential election. Hillary cries in New Hampshire today and people think she'll be a great leader.
People really do deserve the government they vote into power.

January 7, 2008 - 20:45 ET by QueenMumRidiculous! Hillary has proven that she is not fit for the Presidency. There's no crying in the Oval Office. The only time one should see the President teary-eyed is at funerals and natural disasters.
Power to the people!
CNN CRYING ALL DAY
January 7, 2008 - 21:21 ET by obxrayMy god cnn has been whinning all damn day about Hillarys fake cry.I think they are going to be having shows about it all week.I mean every time I flip over to cnn It's all about Hillary's emotional moment.
More crying
January 7, 2008 - 21:36 ET by Cool ArrowTaking a page from Bishop Romney, Hillary tries a new tactic.
Maybe she does crack under the pressure of being so despised once in a while. I mean (channeling Will Smith now) I don't think Hillary wakes up every morning thinking "How evil can I be today".

Read some blogs concerning
January 7, 2008 - 21:39 ET by NonanonRead some blogs concerning evolution versus creationism and you'll see how so many people can vote for someone like Hillary or any leftist for that matter. No one with policies or history like she has would get my vote, man, woman, or other. The actuality of people not liking her positions is lost on or ignored by the press and is so frustrating. What has happened to thought in America and the world?
Edit added:
If she gets this wiped out by a friendly debate or campaign, how would she handle a nuclear-armed terrorist?
Obama is causing the tears...
January 7, 2008 - 21:44 ET by planetrepublicanThis would have worked if Obama was not in the race. He is kicking her ass up here in NH and will continue to do so. He is on a roll; if he trumps her up here and rolls into South Carolina and wins, Hill is in serious trouble. I'd hate to be Bill right about now or anyone who works for her! Can you imagine the rage coming out of her when the doors are shut???!!! They had better wear helmets and learn to dodge the flying objects (lamps, dishes, etc.)! I for one think the tears are for real...tears of anger directed at us unwashed masses. No wonder the dems want to get rid of the 1st in nation NH and Iowa. This is so wonderful I can't contain myself. I'd like to see a TOTAL breakdown on TV, a screaming and tearing off the clothes kind of thing...hey, wait a moment...I rather not see her with no clothes...I take that part back. The screaming and crying yes!
