The scene looked like a clip taken directly from 1983 tear jerker, Terms of Endearment. There she was…Hillary sitting at a table in Cafe Espresso in Portsmouth, New Hampshire with 16 undecided voters, mostly women and gently taking questions. She seemed very calm and sincere. Then came the question; one that she wasn’t expecting (or perhaps she was). I mean, she does have a habit of planting her peeps at random events equipping them with predetermined questions.
“My question is very personal, how do you do it?” asked a woman sitting in the way back. She mentioned Clinton’s hair and appearance always looking stunning. “How do you, how do you keep upbeat and so wonderful?” Wonderful?
Her voice breaking with what looked like to be tears in her eyes, she responded, “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.”
After the event, one woman told ABC that she was glad Clinton showed emotion. Another woman said that she – like most of the woman in the group – had been considering Obama; but after seeing Clinton become emotional, she said she was going to vote for Hillary.
Nice strategy.
But then again, maybe those tears weren’t just Visine drops before the meeting. Perhaps, she found out that she didn’t get any love whatsoever when the first votes were counted in New Hampshire primary. Not a good start, Hillary.
And then of course, the Hillary we all know and love was back on the attack; first with Diana Sawyer where she stated that “Edwards and Obama were given a free ride“. And then, she went on to attack Obama – “You are NO JFK or MLKâ€?. Great actress, but a very poor loser.
Here is the video. Enjoy, and don’t forget to grab some tissue.
