She Wasn't Crying.

[NashVegas]

If you want to get technical.

Crying usually involves actual tears falling. Sobbing also goes with the general definition.

Just sayin' ...

1. Edwards does the same thing all the time

His eyes water up, his face gets pained, he speaks softly and talks about his personal feelings --but on him it's his passion.

when he gets angry and raises his voice --he's commanding --not shrill.

[Hoof Hearted]

25. AND, he wasn't going to say anything about "it" , but then he did in the same sentence.

Couldn't resist the opportunity to slam her and play into the Faux/Limbaugh machine. Nice job Junior Mc NoJob.

This one I'm having a hard time getting over. Deep inside I still think JE would be perfectly fine as a President, but I'm put off, to say the least.

[maddiejoan]

27. They ALL would be fine.

even the ones that have dropped already would have been fine.

The rest is minor policy quibbles and who do you think has the right approach.

Edwards and Obama would make wonderful Presidents.

Hillary would make the type of President I WANT.

2. Her facial expression was grief and desperation .eom

7. How About "Exhaustion"?

With the right stimulants, someone under the age of 25 or 30 can easily go 24-36 hours with no sleep, then spend 24 hours dead cold to catch back up. Happens all the time. Candidates don't get the luxury right now to try to make up for lost sleep.

Try it at 61 and see how well you do.

11. I'll just say good-bye now- I doubt you will be here long since you have a bridge to guard.

12. DING DING DING! ObamaAmerican, you're our grand prize winner!

Her facial expression was (of) grief...

Plus a split-second blast of complete loneliness.

I think what we saw was reality enveloping her like a fog bank--she knows how important it is to win the early primaries easily.

14. that's pretty much what i saw.

i wonder how long she practiced it...

[CherokeeDem]

17. You know...I am an Edwards Supporter but...

I think her voice was breaking because she is hoarse and I think she is also exhausted. I really didn't see where she was emotional in the sense that she was breaking under the pressure. I think she was trying to be honest. I doubt any of us but the younger ones here could keep up the pace these candidates are working at during this time.

23. It's Huge

Oh hugh, if you prefer. The sleep deprivation, that is. I can't do it anymore and I'm still younger than Obama - who we're told is resting his voice tonight.

21. YELLOW DOG

you chose yellow dog for your avatar and carry a name like ObamaAmerican, what a double whammy on your part.

from what country...I wonder, down south, across from jena in louisiana...hmmm!!!

[RufusTFirefly]

3. And Dean wasn't screaming like a maniac either

He was yelling because he couldn't hear himself.
You were expecting accuracy from the MSM?

[NashVegas]

26. Of Course Not

But I was hoping for a little more reason from DUers.

5. Can I just point out it really doesn't matter. People Grow the Fuck up.

Hillary loves her country with REAL passion. Not the phony shit coming out of the GOP.

[Mutineer]

watch her body language

she kept shaking her head "no" as she talked about her passion. When she talked about herself, she was shaking her head yes. Fake. Oh, I believe she feels very sorry for herself but I don't think for one instant she worries about anything other than not winning this election.

[Cha]

16. I know...I've had to

put up with her calculating shit, as my senator, for 5 years now.

[Dorian Gray]

28. You think she's been a bad NY senator?

I am not her biggest fan, but I think she's done a fine job as our senator in NY.

[thepurpose]

20. Sorry. Can't agreed. I did watch her body language. Maybe she is on steroid passion?

[upi402]

6. I thought she was great. Not breakdown, but so what if she did?

Still, she'a a Republican Bushista supporter. Good riddance.

[DemCam]

8. You think? how wise.

[NashVegas]

10. LOl. Thank You

And honest reaction, for a change!

Heee. I'm not a Hillary supporter, but the misogynist attacks are piling up ...

[MercutioATC]

9. "Technical" nothing...her voice barely cracked. She certainly wasn't crying...

...and I really dislike her.

[Generator]

13. HEY! I just posted that!

No kleenex. It's called choking up.

[Hutzpa]

15. I know...its time to spin that wheel n/t

18. "Out, out damn spot!"

The simliarities to Lady MacBeth are frightening.

[Orrex]

22. With Vince Foster as Duncan?

Hmm.... I'm not seeing it...

[RiverStone]

24. Crying or not --- it does not one damn thing to make me want to vote...

for her more.

I don't get all the exhaustive analysis of whether Hillary was technically crying or technically faking it. It matters not.

The pace all the candidates are keeping is like running back to back marathons - being crazy tired results in all sorts of things. I do empathize with Hillary's exhaustion. I don't see her misty eyed explanation as garnishing any more support from most people.

In other words, it's irrelevant.

Go EDWARDS - Go OBAMA!
