Clinton Focus Groups Recommend Shedding a Tear

The "Hillary is not Really a *itch Campaign" is in full swing in Iowa. Based on today's event I can only assume that the Clinton's focus groups have recommended that she shed a tear in front of the voters:

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Democrat Hillary Clinton got visibly emotional at an Iowa campaign event Monday morning designed to showcase a softer side of the New York senator.

Flanked by childhood friends and constituents who each offered testimonials on the Democratic presidential candidate, a glassy-eyed Clinton spoke noticeably softer than most past appearances on the stump. ...

The event coincides with a new campaign Web site — www.TheHillaryIKnow.com — that includes videos for several friends, colleagues, and constituents of Clinton's speaking on her behalf.

The event and Web site are all part of an effort to convey a softer image of Clinton, as polls continue to indicate Democratic primary voters view her as less likeable and more like a "typical politician" than her chief rival, Barack Obama.

I wonder if CNN meant to say "teary-eyed" as opposed to "glassy-eyed". Either way I can't help but think it's a calculated move since nothing happens in the Clinton campaign by accident.

The fact that she's running what is essentially a "bio" campaign only three weeks out from the Iowa caucuses tells me her campaign sees big trouble ahead. She's even running ads featuring an endorsement...from her mother. How tough was it to get that?
