Marianne Pernold was called by Clinton's campaign ahead of time to go to the coffee shop in Ft. Smith New Hampshire (older woman-democrat). She was invited by Terry Norelli of Hillary's campaign. Questioner thinks that Hillary was sincere because the question was personal. Marianne says that immediately after the crying, Hillary resumed the political face.
"Marianne Pernold tells 630 WMAL's Chris Core she truly believes that Senator Hillary Clinton's emotional response to her question at a meeting in New Hampshire was genuine. Pernold asked Clinton how she managed to keep going during the rough campaign, and Clinton's somewhat-teary response has been credited by some pundits for her victory in the Granite state Tuesday night. Pernold tells 630 WMAL she still voted for Barack Obama, becuase she had attended one of his rallies earlier in the week, and she claims Obama's stirring speech brought HER to tears!"
Thanks for the ping. More Clinton deception.
“I heard that it was a small group (like EIGHT) invited persons. Have your political invitations been covered by the national media and that exclusive an invite?”
This is New Hampshire. We have hundreds (thousands?) of similar gatherings. The candidates contact a few donors in the area and the donors bring friends. You can be sure that whenever the TV cameras are around, the candidates aren’t really meeting anyone who isn’t already a supporter.
If I wanted to get a candidate to show up in my living room, all I would have to do is guarantee at least a dozen supporters.
I understand that to the rest of the country, with the exception of Iowa, this sort of thing is unimaginable, but here in New Hampshire it’s normal.
I have met and had conversations with every President since LBJ. Our county Republican party monthly meetings might draw 10-20 people.
Don’t know if this was discussed...Rush just said that the night before she was on some Hollywood show where the interviewer asked about her emotional side. Mrs. Clinton said something about showing her “strong” image. Then the next day she bawls.
That’s really scary now that New Hampshire is a suburb of Boston.
I’m no Freud, but the questioner’s response of “I’m in love” when asked about what she thought of Hillary’s answer to her question leads me to believe that there’s a group of women out there, possibly the majority middle-aged and menopausic, who yearn for love and affection and who’ve been treated badly by men in the past.
If this is a new voting bloc, the “weeping women” (replacing the “soccer moms”, for example), then God help us all.
(Plus the fact that Marianne, the questioner, looks like Sean Connery).
No, the next thing that will happen will be: Either Bubba or Chelsie will get sick...and she will run to their side...to show her “humanness”. Probably Bubba so he can have a crack at a nurse.
She was on “Access Hollywood” on Monday night.
See, and I was thinking lesbians but you may be right. She already has the lebian vote.
Nothing that is done by anyone with the name CLINTON in politics is not precontrived.
I say everyday that I would be happy to give up my right to vote if all the other women would too.
I am further amazed at how effed up our culture continues to be.
Kids here just don’t know do they.
We have a woman here tearing up on TV while running for president of the US in a damned scaryassed world and our media treats it like a plus...a positive sign.
What a weak wench.
We are so screwed up. Wish I could turn the clock back ....at least to 1970
The host (Medved?) I heard talking about the numbers contrasted Hillary’s meeting with 8-10 supporters at a time to Obama meeting with hundreds at a time (saying that it was a gamble to do focused meetings on the eve of the vote).
What is she wearing? That wouldn’t make a nice tablecloth.
Yes, she’s already got the lesbian vote. Other voting blocs that she’s very close to getting in her corner:
1) The woman scorned.
2) The woman damaged emotionally by divorce (i.e. my mother, who lives in NH and voted for Hillary yesterday).
3) Women who are heads of households (single parents) who work but cannot make ends meet with one income and have to deal with deadbeat ex-husbands who do not give them alimony or child support.
4) Women who are heads of households (single parents) who do not work. Hence, they are on welfare, WIC and Section 8.
5) Young professional women.
6) Women who are sick & tired of ironing shirts. (joke)
Thank God I started sending my husbands shirts out in 1986.
Maybe go back to the old thing where you actually have to own something...and have a stake in the economy....instead of a handout.
Me too... I’m such a regular customer at the Dryclean Depot around the corner from my house that the owners even gave me a Xmas card!
If Hillary is quick to cry and seemingly fold under the pressure during the primaries. How will she handles a crisis if she becomes President? Is she any better than Governor Blanco who folded when hard decisions had to be made during the Katrina crisis. Who will they blame then? Bush won’t be president any longer. If there is an attack on American soil by al-Qaeda will she cry and surrender to Bin Ladin? Hmmm?
Obama probably still has no idea how good the Clintons are at this game.
