Were Clinton's tears real and will they help or hurt her campaign?

hillarychokeup.jpg

Rocky columnist Mike Littwin says Hillary Clinton's choke-up moment at a New Hampshire cafe may be just what her campaign needs:

If you missed it - a little confession here: your ace correspondent didn't catch up with Clinton until her next event - the video shows her sitting with a group of undecided voters. When one asked how she does it day after day, Clinton began to answer and then choked up. She began this way: "It's not easy, and I couldn't do it if I didn't passionately believe it was the right thing to do. You know, I have so many opportunities from this country, I just don't want to see us fall backwards."

And then, with her voice catching: "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."

Since Clinton is a candidate who requires a special effort to show her soft side on the campaign trail, this was not exactly expected. On the other hand, it wasn't exactly expected that her campaign, on the eve of the New Hampshire primary, would be in danger of imploding. The latest polls show her trailing Barack Obama by an astounding 10 points. What former front-runner - See: Mitt "Don't Touch the Hair" Romney, who had his own teary moment recently - wouldn't be tempted to weep?

Doug Thompson has a different take on Capitol Hill Blue:

Hillary Rodham Clinton cried on cue Monday, choking up in a contrived show of so-called emotion so unbelievable that even long-time supporters looked on in surprise.

One can only imagine that her note cards for the event contained detailed instructions on how to cry on camera. And here she was, attempting to show actual emotion but showing instead just how uncomfortable it can be to try and act human when doing so is just not in your nature.

Few bought the act. Anyone with an IQ over that of a two-minute egg knows Hillary Clinton is in trouble going into today’s New Hampshire primary, trailing the surging Barack Obama, struggling to stay afloat in a sea of change.

That situation might drive an ordinary person to tears but Clinton is no ordinary person or candidate and she has spent a career building the image of a stoic, always-in-control, hard-nosed politician who can take anything in stride and rise above it.

Sorry Hillary. We ain’t buying the crocodile tears. We know your handlers brought in a professional tear trainer to coach you on how to emote emotion on cue. You might want to fire the tear trainer. He didn’t get the job done.

M.E. Sprengelmeyer e-mailed a note about how far Clinton's "market value" has fallen.

Was Clinton's choke-up moment real or scripted? Will it help or hurt her campaign?

    I really don't think it matters, I believe Hillary's 15 minutes of TMZ are up and her #'s prove it.

    Tree - I think they were real, because I think deep down she is a True Believer. That is NOT to say she is right, just that she believes she is.

    That said, I also don't think there would be a perceived value in faking tears - It could be seen as all too big a sign of weakness. While it could also be seen as a sign of sincerity, I think the percception of weakness outweighs any benefit.

    I think it will be Obama in November, as I think the voter wants new blood, and Hill represents more of the status quo. "She can't handle the truth"!

    I think the choke up was real. But not because she believes in the future of our country. (Remember she went along with the Iraq invasion... didn't run when Dem leadership needed her in 2004 either)

    she is choking up because she is LOSING. She can't figure out why things are going like they calculated things would turn out. The plan was not to run in 2004 but to run in 2008. Meanwhile she voted for the war and supported the republican view until she ran this year.

    no one believes the Clintons.

    8dude, I'm real careful about woman and tears. I just worked with a a professional liar. She would cry once a week like clockwork on the phone to get her way with someone somehow since she was ful of BS. Then she would walk out of her office laughing, "it worked again". This is the same bitch who drove 20 over on every road, every highway, everyday and kept an empty inhaler in her glove box. When pulled over she would be crying and inhaling (air) and state she can't breath and she's going to the hospital. I hate to type this.....and it worked.

    Jeez. Do any of you ever turn a critical eye on what the media spews? I mean, Ive seen this crap stated again and again. Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton, we dont want this! We want CHANGE! WTF? You want ANY change? Just any kind of change whatsoever? Or would you like GOOD change?

    As to the status quo...seems like if that is a big issue to you, maybe Clinton should be your choice.

    We had Reagan run up tons of debt and create a credit crunch leading to a recession (he killed the USSR this way, so Im not dissing the man. In his case it was necessary). Bush 1 started trying to fix it, and then Clinton came along and fixed it (and some of the way he did that was to keep the fiscally responsible policies of Bush 1). Then Bush 2 comes along and pulls a Reagan, but worse, and without the USSR as a good reason.

    Seems to me, the "Change" represented by Clinton is EXACTLY whats called for.

    As I said on the other blog, Obama will probably be ok. Im just worried about the guy screwing up free trade. And while he wraps "Protect American manufacturing jobs" in the prettiest bow available (he says we do it by ramping up green tech manufacturing), its still POPULISM. And Populism is a proven failure. I'll still vote for the guy over anyone in the Republican party because they either mix religious fanaticism with populism, or they want to stay in Iraq for freaking ever...but that populist streak from Obama freaks me out. And when you look at actual policies, thats really the only difference between Obama and Hillary that matters. He may be younger and newer, but their policies are the exact same accept that Clinton has less populist ideas about trade and jobs.

    As for whether her tears were real or not, they probably were. If you hate Clinton though, its another great chance to show your hypocrisy. "Shes a cast iron bitch" is now "Shes weak". Pathetic political sideshow.

    It looks like the tears were real. She was caught at an unguarded moment. Showing vulnerability works for characters in the movies, and it has historical precedent. Richard Nixon of all people, perhaps the most cynical and impersonal American politician of the twentieth century, used vulnerability in his Checker's speech. Look what's going on with Romney. He is perceived as a cold businessman who can't connect with ordinary people. Maybe he should cry. (But I will also add that it hurt Ed Muskie in 1972. After Nixon's degenerates libled his wife and caused him to get upset, Tricky Dick and his band of a$$holes then used attack ads showing Muskie falling to the presssure.)

    Even if Hill loses in NH and SC, she is not out of it. Her money and organization still can carry her through super Tuesday. But Romney may not recover if he loses because Rudy is going to do well on super Tuesday. McCain may be the alternative, and I'm not sure how Huck is going to do when money and organization matter.

    I guess I should have known this would be a hot potato of a topic.

    For what it's worth, here is what I think; I think Hillary, in all honesty, meant exactly what she said - "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."

    There was a popular question asked in one of the past Presidential campaigns, and I don't recall who used it. But, it was "Ask yourself if you are better off now than you were 4 years ago."

    If everyone here asked themselves "Am I better off now than I was seven years ago?", I would be pretty surprised if many would answer "Yes". And if we broaden the question to include our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and our nation, perhaps the answer would be even more revealing.

    Something to think about when contemplating who should receive your vote, and just how sincere they really are in all that they say while wooing your vote, but wouldn't most of us say that the course we're on needs to be reversed, or at least a new heading taken?

She has spent her entire life whittling her communistic ideals to fit the times and now she knows she has missed the boat. It is ironic that what was to be her hour, she is now too conservative for her party.

Even the most die hard party line stooges have to admit that even if we could elect a Pres who was an independent thinker and truly had this countries best interest at heart; this person would be a lame duck becuase the congress/senate and big money would not let the true and neccessary changes to be made. We will continue to have the same cycle of crap under the current system perhaps only packaged slightly different.

    No Osama - Isn't the fact that there's been "No Terrorism" more relevant? Glass is half empty right? Bill Clinton intentionally turned him down more than once.

    Not out of Iraq - Exactly what the terrorists have been telling us. Despite being at war under Bush, we lost fewer military members during the peacetime of Bill Clinton's military. Congressional Report: http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/RL32492.pdf Not that each isn't an important loss to somebody but I'd like to point out that losses of our most precious resource in the military, people, are likely to be the same or even worse if we weren't in Iraq.

    Afghanistan crumbling - When wasn't it? But hey, it's a chance to pin something on somebody you don't like so why not, right? (Every little bit helps when you need to verify what you want to believe)

    Pakistan in crisis - See "Afghanistan crumbling".

    Home loan crisis - Because ill informed or stupid people took loans from other ill informed or stupid people then everybody should bail both sides out = the liberal mantra. Being screwed after being stupid is supposed to be the incentive to not be stupid.

    Katrina death toll - As if there was no local responsibility. As if Bush steered Katrina into N.O. by remote control and blew up the levies, never mind that every single other local hit by Katrina came out in way better shape with the same George Bush as president.

    National debt still a record - true.

    Oil crisis - Chirped the Democrat as he simultaneously opposes drilling almost anywhere.

    Divided nation - Politically speaking, always has been, its one of our strengths. Liberals always preach diversity favorably until it comes to the philosophical type.

    Rich get richer - another liberal cliché which forgets that the lazy usually ignore opportunity.

    Middle class poorer - illegal immigration, business friendly republicans and enabling liberals are both to blame.

    Record credit card debt - see "Home loan crisis"

    Record loan defaults - see "Home loan crisis"

    Detroit crumbling - Results of years of liberal/socialist control. Who was the last conservative Mayor? This is what socialist/victimhood policies result in when your city doesn't have a beautiful coastline like San Francisco or a worthy Tourist attraction.

    Outsourcing - true.

    Health care crumbling - Not true. Most uninsured are the lazy, the young and the illegals. People come to America from all over the world to take advantage of our system. Affordable health insurance starts at around $130/month, a quarter of weed is about $100, I've seen a lot of stoned hippies in my day….hmmm.

    Aggressive Russia and China on the rise - true.

    Global warming ignored - Manbearpig the essence of the lemming minded Democrat.

    Endless list of GOP hypocrisy and crime - Abundant on the Democratic side of the isle as well

    Complete lack of leadership and credibility - A year of Democratic control of Congress has produced a 10-year low in the public approval rating for the national legislature but it didn't stop them from voting themselves a pay raise - http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gYSdLbi7TlGf-wTrMfI0LGQXUweAD8U2IDE00

    That is amazing you think so highly of Bill and yet he treated women more disrespectful than anyone I know.
    Should I mention what a lousy influence he was as a father?
    Should I mention what a lousy husband he is/was?
    Infidelity should not be idolized.

    Ask Chelsea what a hero she thinks of her womanizing father, don't you think she was embarrassed to see him on National T.V. describing his BJ in the oral office and the stain on Monicas dress after denying it to the whole world??
    Bill Clinton is nothing but scum and Hillarys greed is the ONLY reason she is with him.
    The two are so phony yet it seems that the more vile and repugnant they become the more you on the left coddle them.

    Matt, shouldn't that be "aisle"? It's not as if Democrats live on the other side of a small island.

    Nothing unusual what Hilly did. Most people recognize the tears of a woman who desperately wants something. In this respect she is like most other women in the US.

    Mickey,
    Do you think her crying will help her when she needs to confront the terrorists?

    Hmm Doesn't make us sound like the greatest Country in the World.

    Actually I don't. My point is that Hill needs to taken at face value. Her "experience" does not amount to a hill of beans. As a carpetbagger into New York, her record for her constituents is meager, but then again those voters knew she was staging a run for the Big House.
    She asks "Where's the Beef?" knowing full well that the beef is being stuffed into some intern or other low level employee while she takes a deep breath to pump out croc tears to rally the sheeple.
    Sad.

    Yea, I know Yogi. There are probably a few more grammatical mistakes in there than just that. BTW, thanks to Shaggy, Hogar and CT.
