Check it out...someone asks an innocuous question about her hair and Hillary chokes up. Looks like Obama's victory in Iowa is getting to her. Is someone as emotionally fragile as she appears to be suited for a job as difficult as the presidency?

I think she figured "I can put up with Bill getting his knobbed slobbed by this Vampira-looking bitch, gotta keep my eye on the prize...EIGHT YEARS FROM NOW I WILL BE PRESIDENT HUAAAA"

And now she's getting owned by a skinny former crackhead.

I heard she thought about divorcing his ass but was convinced it would hurt his presidency - and then of course there was her own political future to think about. I don't think this was an act, it seemed more like my little cousin crying after I take her Gameboy away during her bouts of insolence

Ichirou · « **Reply #8 on:** January 08, 2008, 02:32:25 AM »

It'd be different if she got choked up from hearing from the relative of a soldier who'd been injured or killed in Iraq, or from a grandma who couldn't pay her prescription drug bills or something...but nooo, she's all like "Running for president sure is tough... *sob*"

well, Bill sometimes cried when he saw people living in poverty but that was probably for the camera.

I highly doubt Hillary is that emotional over this. She's just trying to get sympathy. She needs something to compete with Obama because electing a woman is too different and then it'd be like 20 years of Clinton and Bush.

Anyone catch the O'Reilly show? He had a professional "body language interpreter" on that was dissecting practically every little muscle twitch she made in that clip.

The verdict was that it was genuine...but then again a politician on her level would have been extensively coached on body language, you can't tell if it's rehearsed or not with a person like her. This was funny regardless, it's such a fucking woman moment.

Yeti · « **Reply #17 on:** January 08, 2008, 04:43:57 AM »

I think Hillary is just an emotionless robot who has been programmed to survive by mimicing the attributes of those surrounding her. Didn't she revert to a southern accent when giving a speech in a southern church a while back?

In this case, her audience was probably mostly dumb, middle-aged women who get their news solely from Oprah and The View.

Yeah. The tears are coming from the fact that her carefully constructed run is crashing down on her.

I honestly think tears from anyone should be made in the backroom, not in front of worldwide coverage

RUSSIA 2009! SOMEWHERE IN MOSCOW!

"Our plan is to make American President CRY! THEN WE GET ALL WE WANT! MUHAHAHAHAHAH!"

its not a position of strength, while social norms are by and large stupid, its the perceived reality for just about every leader in the modern world. I mean say Osama sent us some video but in the middle he started crying about how he just wanted the best for his followers and its so hard to live in a cave so often...who would take him seriously anymore?

Its just...none of the other candidates have chosen to cry on camera..which begs the question as to why Hillary did. It either makes her cold and calculating, or it makes the other candidates appear stronger.

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #31 on:** January 08, 2008, 12:54:54 PM »

I think it's the most likeable she has been all campaign, quite a change from her shrill Ice Queen voice she usually puts on.

There's no way it was staged. Her campaign aids may be losing this election, but they aren't dumb enough to advise a PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, worse yet a female presidential candidate, to cry on camera. That's suicide.

Agreed. If she wanted to look more human, there were much better ways of doing so.

The tears are simply a result of her campaign unraveling. She did well in the polls for a while but the first caucus, she got 3rd place, the lowest spot on the first tier. Now Obama looks to snatch NH from her as well. She is in a tight spot and I think it is taking a large toll on her, hence the crying. Now Fox News, Limbaugh, and the rest of the tard pack now have some ammunition to launch against her.

Doesn't matter. This can be turned into the Howard Dean Scream of 2008. In the age where soundbites are everything, unfortunate as it is, Hillary unloaded a gold mine to the Glenn Becks and Sean Hannitys of the media.

The media tried to turn this into a Dean Scream, spontaneous combustion moment for her campaign, and I think that the women of New Hampshire said "fuck this misogynist shit" and rallied in the end around Clinton just enough to give her the close win. I can't blame them either, given that the double standard seems to be:

male politician crying = impassioned, emotional
female politician crying = hysterical

which is some grade-A bullshit

i'm not saying that

Yeah, not saying you or anyone here in this thread was. However, all of the major news networks and many regional papers were going crazy over the whole thing.

Staged or not-and I certainly believe it wasn't staged, given her comments right after the moment in question-it was the media reaction and dogpiling that probably pissed off some women and got them to vote for Hillary.

There's another lesson Democratic voters should take away regarding this whole thing-if they want a candidate who will get a the most fair treatment in the media, Obama is CLEARLY the superior choice. The good old boy punditocracy won't dare make generalizations about African-Americans, they will get darn nasty against a woman candidate.
