Hilary gets choked up

[apwendy]

I heard people talk about Hilary crying at some sort of political gathering. I found this clip of it on YouTube. She just seems tired - I don't think it's what you'd really call crying. What do you think?

Wow, the comments from people about it on YouTube are brutal. You can see those just below the player.

Hi Wendy,

Yep, I totally agree. She was dead tired (and really, who wouldn't be), but she definitely did NOT cry. She was asked by a woman in the audience how she deals with campaigning non-stop. Hillary made it clear in her response that she gets through it because she's passionate about wanting to become President. Personally, I think she sounded sincere in her answer.

However, I'd like to make clear I'm not a Hillary supporter (not yet anyway), and this supposed "incident" will have no bearing on whether I will eventually support her or not (I don't think it did for the voters in New Hampshire either). Frankly, I'm already sick of the Presidential campaign!:p

Maybe it worked for her - she won New Hampshire. SOmehow I don;t think Obama can compete in a crying competition.

You'd never have caught Margaret Thatcher whining like that. Then again, I think British elections only last a matter of weeks.
