January 8, 2008 - 9:15am — Nancy Huddleston
Did you see the clip on the evening news of Hillary Clinton almost crying when describing her passion for running for president? Do you think it will help or hurt her chances to win the Democratic nomination for President?

I missed the clip on the...
Back to page topI missed the clip on the news, but in my humble opinion, I think Hillary is going to have to break out more stops than near tears of passion to beat her top opponents, Obama and Edwards.
Have tears ever helped a presidential candidate win anything?
I know what happened when Dean's emotions got the best of him last time around.
"WOOOOOOOOO, Yeahhhhhhh" ... and you just lost everyone who considered voting for you, Dean.
Hind sight is 20/20, but had I been his public relations person I would have asked him to control himself when he's on the campaign trail.
And if I were Clinton's PR person, I would say the same thing.
I doubt the near tears of passion will put a dagger in her chances the way it did for Dean nearly four years ago, but I think the American people want a passionate leader who can compose themselves on the international stage.
I'm not saying Clinton can't, I'm saying I think emotions should bne kept at bay when there is the leader of the free world at stake.
Can you imagine a president breaking down in front of the world if something major happened?
I can't, so maybe it will hurt her chances more than I think.
She's doomed either way -...
Back to page topShe's doomed either way - cry or no cry.
Howver, Clinton's cry is lose-lose for her, which is a little unfair.
Some pundits have said the cry was calculated. If Clinton says it wasn't, then the pundits turn around and say she looks weak. Either way, she's screwed.
If it was calculated, then it was just a dumb campaign strategy. I don't think it was though. I thought it was genuine and it doesn't make her look any less presidential. The media's focus on it is totally absurd, wondering if she'd break down in meeting with Pakistan or something. Please, talk about a reach.
However, it really doesn't matter now. The Obama train can't be stopped, so move out the way! Here it comes!!
I don't think crying will...
Back to page topI don't think crying will help Clinton. I do think polls show people would like her to be more human. (Note: Crying because the polls tell you to be human does not count as really being human).
I would love to see a woman as president; I'm always pleased to see balance in government and organizations.
I'm just not sure Clinton is the person I'd like to see as president based on her character and platform.
Don't look now, but the...
Back to page topDon't look now, but the Clinton train is still on the tracks. She's leading early. Obama is being slowed.
Never ever count out a Clinton. Win or lose, it looks to be very close and that alone with keep Hillary around until Super Tuesday.
Hillary - the Clintons -...
Back to page topHillary - the Clintons - are indestructable.
They keep coming and coming and coming at you until they've taken your last breath. Down and out? What happened to that?
The Obama train is still rolling, but Clinton train is back on track and steaming toward Super Tuesday. Go figure. It's that Clinton mystique I guess. Bill and Hillary are indestructable.
Apparently, crying didn't...
Back to page topApparently, crying didn't hurt Clinton one bit. Personally, I like all of this drama among the front-runners and I'm glad to see that one person isn't pulling away from the pack. I think it's good for voters to have to make up their own minds rather than going with the popular choice.
Is Hillary making a comeback...
Back to page topIs Hillary making a comeback with her "popular vote" win in Nevada, even though Barack Obama got the "delegate" win?
If Obama doesn't win South...
Back to page topIf Obama doesn't win South Carolina, it's over for him. See ya in 2016. Go get some experience.
I also love how the words comeback and Hillary are being thrown around so easily. She's been the overwhelming Democratic frontrunner for six months. She loses Iowa and suddenly she's the comeback kid.
The polls were way off in New Hampshire because of the Obama media hpye train (Heck, I'm still on that train. I hope he wins). But the fact of the matter is Hillary had a huge lead in NH before Iowa. And she's always led in Nevada. And she's always been the frontrunner.
I'm still supporting Obama. I still think he can win. But I have no problem with Hillary as the Democratic nominee either. I'll vote for her in November without hesitation.
