The Day Before a Big Primary and Here Come the Waterworks Again

The day before the New Hampshire primary when Hillary was needed a big moment she had her little crying jag and women all over New Hampshire swooned and ran to the polls to vote for Hillary. Could history be repeating itself?

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.

Penn Rhodeen, 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, Rhodeen 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.

The first time it was wildly effective. The second time it will look like a carefully calculated political tool. I don't think there will be a bump in the voting tomorrow because of Hillary's emotions.
