So, we are now reduced to "alayzing" tears. (Jesse Jackson, Jr.)
By his standards, because he never saw Sen. Clinton shed any tears over Katrina, her tears in NH are phoney and have little value. So, does that mean one has to be careful about which issues or situations evoke emotion and tears? How does JJJr. know whether or not Sen. Clinton did not shed tears over Katrina? Did Obama shed tears over 9/11, the Jena 6? This stuff is flatly amazing to me that we Dems have reached the point where anti-Clintonism is going to ensure that we lose yet another Presidential election. The pundits are spinning and that is bad enough. But whichever Dem candidate emerges victorius from this primary need not be bogged down by the baggage our own candidates. Really, is Hillary a worse candidate than any of the Republicans.

4. So can her opponents categorizer her as
"a wimpy cry-baby" because that's what, IMO, she acted like?

If she cried about a question of genocide that would be understandable, but she cried *for herself* on a question about looks. How lame. :thumbsdown:

6. I don't see it that way. First of all, there were no tears. No matter how closely you
look - she did not cry. Secondly, what she said about getting up and doing this every day was so heartfelt because there was so much at stake. She was emotional about losing ground on so many issues, not over her hair. It is irresponsible to imply or say she was emotional about her looks.

5. He was amazing - what a stupid fool that little JJ.
Nora, of course, basically agreed with him that the tears "need to be analyzed".

Obama needs to get the hook for JJJr.

10. He might be the next mayor of Chicago
No one is gonna beat Daley at the ballot box, but if he decides to hang it up, JJJr is gonna be the first candidate registered.
