Hillary Clinton cries in Connecticut (On Drudge)
Swamp Politics ^ | Feb. 04, 2008 | by Jason George

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Sen. Hillary Clinton teared up this morning at an event at the Yale Child Study Center, where she worked while in law school in the early 1970s.

A doctor, who was introducing Clinton, began to choke up, leading Clinton's eyes to fill with tears, which she wiped out of her left eye. At the time, the doctor was saying how proud he was that sheepskin-coat, bell-bottom-wearing young woman he met in 1972 was now running for president.

"Well, I said I would not tear up; already we're not exactly on the path," Clinton said with emotion after the introduction.

Clinton is holding a roundtable discussion with Connecticut women to talk about childcare and healthcare.

When Clinton got misty-eyed at an event in New Hampshire on Jan. 7, politicos and pundits filled hours discussing if it helped her, and Clinton eventually pointed to the moment as when she "found her voice" and turned the corner in the Granite State.

At the time, there was much debate if the candidate's emotional response to a question -- "How do you do it?"" -- was genuine or calculated.

Let the conversation begin again...

Nice catch. So now we see Hillary cries the day before every Primary. If it’s close in Nov. she’ll probably stage a nervous breakdown the Monday prior to election day.

No, the worse is yet to come, I’m afraid. We’re still free and can live our lives even if half of labor goes to government. But there will come a time when virtually 100% of our lives are surrendered. And few will stand against it.

Bridgeton, Mo.

Just outside???

We're about 10-12 mi outside St. Louis' city limits.

And, yes, we have our share of kooks.

Translation: You can see me crying right? See my tears, right here, see them? Look at me, I'm crying!

Hillary covers Roy Orbison:

I was alright
for a while
I could smile
For a while

But when Obama won
I came undone
in front of
the microphone...

Coz they don’t love me
and I will always be

Crying
For a vote

Crying
For a vote

Yes, I’m all done
and from this moment on

I’ll be crying...

I think that one is photoshopped - to make play with the whole Monica thing of years past.
