Hillery's tears helped her because......
it is the first time she actually came across as a human being

and not a f*&%ing robot.....

seriously i hate her... but for the first time i felt empathy with her
the fact she has no testicles had nothing
and i mean nothing
to do with it
for the first time i thought
she actually might make a decent leader...

i am still behind john Edwards 1000% though

and this baby is not over

not by a long shot

1. Edwards supporter here, too...
but it wasn't Hillary's getting choked up, it was the inanity that followed that got me closer to being in her corner. She did show her down-to-earth side in the last debates, but her showing emotion, and being slightly vulnerable didn't hurt her like I thought it had. I think the average person would not believe she was weak because she welled up, but maybe saw that she had a soul. I think most people get that she would be a competent President, but maybe seeing she had heart along with it helped her a bit.

2. I'd echo that..for me it was how she was crucified for a "human"moment...
and by the same people that accuse her of being a heartless b*tch.

3. AMEN...
I would be more suspicious of someone who never showed emotion, and lets face it...they are all exhausted.

Hell, I'm exhausted and I haven't moved from this chair much for a couple of days now...

4. well, let me voice my suspicions here.
H's moment sure seemed honest enough, BUT

remember the planted questions.
notice how H staffers tried to lower expectations by tell Brokaw that they might be ready to bolt to Obama
notice the stories of H's demise and lack of $ help lower expectations
notice how convenient some jerkoffs act yelling "iron my shirts" just when we are supposed to understand how sexism works against her
notice how bad the polls were EXCEPT for Edwards poll numbers

and...

Notice how Hillary has to get out of being the "inevitable" choice and target of everyone--(just like Bill), she doesn't want that mantle. She needs to get an emotional connection by being the underdog. (just like Bill)

and the people working on her campaign have learned much from Rove.....

Excuse me if I just say I feel like I've been watching a carefully orchestrated passion play.

5. Please show us those tears!
There were NO tears. She choked up a little saying how hard it has been and how she wants to make things better for the people of America!
