Might As Well Quit Now

When I saw this...

PORTSMOUTH, New Hampshire (Reuters) - A teary-eyed Hillary Clinton pushed for support on Monday as polls showed her poised for a huge New Hampshire loss...


I knew. 

Game over.

There's no crying in politics.

1 Nah, that will get her sympathy. Remember how Bill would bite his lip to hold back from crying? I'm so over that trick. (no pun intended)

2 h~ I thought about that... but I think the difference is - he was always doing that for one of 2 reasons - because he was trying to convince people he was "sorry" about one of his many transgressions or if he wanted people to think he "feels your pain"... never to get votes.

Being a man he could get away with both of the above - her being a woman (nominally), it makes her look like a pathetic dweeb.

LOL.

3 Jimmy Dugan would be apoplectic.
I wonder if she'll claim there was a snowflake in her eye.

I said the same thing.  Stick a fork in her.....

When Bill cried it showed his "sensitive" side. People don't want a woman in power that's gonna tear up when things get tough.

5 I almost felt sorry for her yesterday, then slapped myself for falling into the 'theatrics' trap.  Has her campaign officially jumped the shark?

I'd still rather have her than osama obama.

6 T --- best use of a movie line I've seen in a LONG time.

7  From the pics I've seen there were no reall tears involved. From where I sit it's as phoney as Harry Reid saying he supports the troops.

8 Randy - ROFLMAO - yeah he would be...I wanna see it.

Tammi - that's it exactly.

Pam - LOL don't make me come down there and shake some sense into you.

Dogette - THANK YOU!!!

Peter - I figure it doesn't matter if the tears are real or not - the effect is the same, making her look like a desperate woman. Not good.

Feel sorry for her??? Don't make me come down to the Sunshine State, girl!

The second I saw it...OK....let me rephrase that: The second I composed myself after I saw it, I knew - like I know my eyes are green, and my butt is LARGE - that she was being a dooshwad phony baloney, with her freakin' crocodile tears.

Mercy, the woman is such a doodiehead. I honestly don't know what I'd do if she is elected. Do we have a plan in case of emergency? Can I be in on it? Because the thought of living in this country with her at the helm terrifies me [movie quote] beyond the capacity for rational thought.

10 I have to agree. Everything I heard today on the radio and talk about town was that her crying was a sign of weakness. People don't want to see their leader cry when the going gets tough.

I don't know. I have to agree with my Mom.  Everyone sees her as a cold bitch.  This might in some people's eyes take that edge off.

And she is beating Obama right now in NH.  It appears her show of sensitivity may have happened at just the right time.
