Clinton Gets Emotional on Campaign Trail
January 07, 2008 12:34 PM
ABC News' Kate Snow Reports: Campaigning in New Hampshire one day before the first-in-the-nation primary, Senator Hillary Clinton got emotional and had tears in her eyes as she spoke with voters about how hard it is to balance a busy campaign life and her passion for the country's future.
The Senator from New York was sitting at a big table in Cafe Espresso in Portsmouth, New Hampshire with 16 undecided voters, mostly women, warmly and calmly taking questions.
Then she took an unexpected question from a woman standing in the back.
"My question is very personal, how do you do it?" asked Marianne Pernold Young, a freelance photographer from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. She mentioned Clinton's hair and appearance always looking perfectly coifed. "How do you, how do you keep upbeat and so wonderful?"
Clinton began responding, jokingly. First talking about her hair: "You know, I think, well luckily, on special days I do have help. If you see me every day and if you look on some of the websites and listen to some of the commentators they always find me on the day I didn't have help. It's not easy."
But then, Clinton began getting emotional: "It's not easy, and I couldn't do it if I didn't passionately believe it was the right thing to do. You know, I have so many opportunities from this country just don't want to see us fall backwards," she said.
Her voice breaking and tears in her eyes, she said, "You know, this is very personal for me. It's not just political it's not just public. I see what's happening, and we have to reverse it."
Watch the video HERE.
"Some people think elections are a game, lot's of who's up or who's down, [but] it's about our country , it's about our kids' futures, and it's really about all of us together," she said.
"You know, some of us put ourselves out there and do this against some pretty difficult odds, and we do it, each one of us because we care about our country but some of us are right and some of us are wrong, some of us are ready and some of us are not, some of us know what we will do on day one and some of us haven't thought that through enough," she said in a veiled reference to her Democratic rival Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.
"And so when we look at the array of problems we have and the potential for it really spinning out of control, this is one of the most important elections American has ever faced," Clinton said.
After the event, Pernold Young told ABC News that she was glad Clinton showed emotion.
"She allowed herself to feel," Pernold Young said. " I was surprised and I said, 'wow there's someone there.'"
Another woman in the group, Alison Hamilton of Portsmouth, New Hampshire said she, like most of the people in the group, had been considering Obama.
But after seeing Clinton become emotional, she said she was going to vote for Clinton.
"Her whole thing today really convinced me but that really did clinch it for me," Hamilton said. "She's very impressive."
During the event, Clinton also had an exchange with an Obama supporter asking whether she can bring change, and why the Democrats haven't been able to affect change in Congress, despite taking power after the 2006 midterm elections.
"At the end of the day when the cameras are off what have you done?" asked the voter.
Clinton responded, arguing a politician's record is important.
"I know that to some people it sounds like there's a contradiction between change and experience... You can't have one without the other."
Clinton said people aren't aware of the small things the Democrats in Congress have accomplished because the war in Iraq is ongoing.
"You just keep going at it every single day," she said.

Hillary cried? LOL Hillary cried...just like a woman.

She's crying because feels entitled to the nomination and isn't going to get it. She acts like a spoiled brat who isn't getting her way.

Hillary is showing her emotional weakness when it comes to pressure. Do we really want someone like this having to face major challenges affecting our country and our freedom??? I think not!

Can't you just see Hillary in the White House sobbing on national t.v. as terrorists strike the country again? We don't need whiny, criers defending us.

Hillary Clinton is so pathetic, and lying never stops. Hillary is noseating.
Every time Hillary opens her mouth, she swiftboats herself.
No more Clinton's in the White House please.

Good grief, how overtly obvious is it that ABC news is pro-Hillary. Every article and photo is presented in Hillary's favor while Obama's headlines present a negative effect. What ever happened to un-biased reporting?
Posted by: BamaBoy | Jan 7, 2008 12:47:51 PM
theres no crying in politics!!!
Posted by: dennis | Jan 7, 2008 12:48:02 PM
It's over for Hillary. Aside from the fact that she actually has LESS experience as an elected offocial tyhan Obama, no one LIKES her! No one is going to vote for someone they don't even like. Remember Bob Dole? Remember Mike Dukakis? No one liked them! Obama, also, knows what poverty is, knows what suffering and hopelessness are! I'm voting for Obama!
Posted by: gwascher | Jan 7, 2008 12:48:02 PM
You think running for President is hard, try running the country.
Hillary has just proved that she is not qualified to be our next leader. Buh-bye, loser.
I'm not laughing with you. I'm laughing at you.
Posted by: Frak | Jan 7, 2008 12:48:08 PM
No one is truly impressed with the angry, self-pitying tears of a self-righteous, self-entitled elitist. This young Democrat, like a growing number of Americans, have a message for the Clintons and their sad, manipulated 'legacy': It's over. The 1960's and 1990's are done, and so are you.
Posted by: Dr. B. Prince | Jan 7, 2008 12:48:27 PM
Is this really objective reporting? Why does Kate Snow make judgements on the other people at the table being "bored"? And WHO CARES if Hillary cried, anyway? Don't you think running for office is stressful? This kind of nonobjective drivel really is alarming and not up to ABC standards.
Posted by: Anna M | Jan 7, 2008 12:48:37 PM
I think she is crying because she realizes she is not being taken seriously right now. I mean, how must she feel that someone asked her who does her hair? How did her message collapse to this?

A tactic straight from the Clinton "War Room" no doubt. Just one more reason she cannot be President. This has gone on long enough... she should step down. ABC and the lib media are trying hard to prop her up and help the Dems. Even actively campaigning against Romney - unbelievable. That is why ABC failed to bring up illegal immigration during the Dem debates. The lib media is desperatly trying to steer the elections.
Posted by: Bill | Jan 7, 2008 12:49:47 PM
I wish all three Democratic candidates and Joe Biden too could be president. Clearly they are ALL stellar. There is no doubt Senator Clinton is genius and would be wonderful. It's the passion behind the ideas I wonder about. I am ABSORBED with a Democrat finally getting into the oval office and HOPING maybe beyond hope that they even more securely retain the Congress and to at least TRY to turn over the HORRIFIC Republican agenda that has put out country so at risk. I am scared but good but the Republican way is a colossal failure. They do NOT care about the average American whether it's north, south, east or west. To think they do is utter folly. We need prescient Democratic leadership and then some!
Posted by: nmrosen | Jan 7, 2008 12:49:50 PM
"Clinton ... got emotional, her voice breaking and with tears in her eyes, she spoke about how she is passionate about this election and passionate about the country."
I think I'm going to hurl - the Clinton's are about ONE thing - power and promoting the Clinton's. Good "intentions" are NOT enough. When it's all said and done - the empress (and emperor) have no clothes. They should both move to one of the "stans" and live out their Communist dreams there.

WoW... Mrs. Clinton ... what experience; Arkansas ... sitting in the white hous trying to be a Co-President... did she have security clearance. The rest should ask the question...

Please. Now that I know Cafe Espresso let that witch eat there, I will never go there again. To think she was so close to my house makes me ill. I love it when she is losing how she pulls out the gender bashing card (they dont like me because I am a "woman") or cries. What I find amusing, literally, is that you can tell that she thought she was just going to "breeze" through the process and automatically win tjhe nomination! Not so huh Hil?
Enough with the Clintons - get these corrupt sociopaths out of here already.

Those are the tears of corporatists, who feel the coming populist revolution. The days of the DINO are over. Good riddance, Hillary.

Rommney said it best yesterday- you can't have change simply by moving the same old people around in different chairs. Washington's broke- we need fresh ideas and people we can trust. Obama is the Democrat party's best candidate.

Obama may be an articulate speaker, but so was Hitler.
Don't be fooled by how he says what he says. LISTEN to WHAT he says -- he's no better than Hillary.
I'd vote for Satan before I'd vote for either of them.
Actually, my vote as it stands right now is write-in: NONE OF THE ABOVE.

Posted by: jim brown | Jan 7, 2008 12:52:01 PM
Better for her to cry than for the rest of America to cry if she got elected.
She is a socialist and would take this Country down with increased taxes, soft on terrorism (as was Bill), big government spending, etc.
America is looking for a fresh start...not a re-hash of the 8 years we had with the Clinton's before. She is devisive and would not work with both sides of the isle.
Posted by: Fred | Jan 7, 2008 12:52:35 PM
I have met Hillary Clinton two times and believe me, she is honest, intelligent and forthright. This country made a mistake voting for someone they "like" or want to have a beer with. Please do not make another mistake by voting for the wrong president. The world can not afford it. Hillary is by far the best choice of all. Don't listen to what the pundants and other teams want you to hear and believe. She is the brightest and the best.
Posted by: Paul S. | Jan 7, 2008 12:52:36 PM
Boo-whoo!! Please go to the nearest mechanics workshop and ask them to weld you a back-bone. Desperate times call for desperate tears!! Hillary you are finished, please face the facts!!
Posted by: Ryan | Jan 7, 2008 12:53:18 PM
As a Barack Obama supporter, I'd say this could just be a ploy to get people to vote for her. Perhaps Clinton is simply exhausted from campaigning. Maybe she even is THAT passionate about the country. But as a person who got a degree in women's studies, I find it offensive that anyone would say that Hilary was crying because she is a woman. I'd love for a woman to be the president. Just because we menstruate doesn't mean that we're more or less emotional than men. Anyone who says that is just foolish. Ignorant statements like that are the reason women were suppressed for so long. Is Hilary being honest? I have no idea, but making it seem as though men in politics have never cried, and furthermore, accepting the idea that crying is a sign of weakness, is one of the reasons that our society is the way it is.
Posted by: Amy | Jan 7, 2008 12:53:21 PM
Who didnt see this coming? She played the victim to win her senate seat. It's all she has.
Posted by: Ray Robison | Jan 7, 2008 12:53:22 PM
A large number of undecided, open-minded voters took a fair, close and careful look at this woman over an extended time. And walked away. Look at your own comments for the roots of this turn of the tide. And for the genius of the designers of the political system that, more often than not, leaves candidates like Hillary Clinton (and Ron Paul, and Fred Thompson) wondering what happened.
Posted by: Ted | Jan 7, 2008 12:53:47 PM
Tears are not a sign of weakness, they are a sign of passion and committment.
However, Mr. Obama's stuttering and stammering indicates a mind not thoroughly rehearsed in where it stands on the issues. There is a very obvious disconnect between what he believes and what he is "coached" to say. He lacks believability based on his inability to construct a complete sentence. Something is not ringing true here.
Hillary has my vote. Mr. Obama would not even be a close enough second to be her vice-president. Bill Richardson would make an excellent running mate.
Posted by: Mary Miles | Jan 7, 2008 12:53:51 PM
Hillary's exit strategy:
Having meticulously planned their coveted return to the White House for several years now, the Clintons will certainly not exit the scene with grace or dignity. This is the political duo that honed "The Politics Of Personal Destruction" into an artform; and, most certainly will not tolerate, who is in their mind, the "upstart Obama" to derail Hillary's pre-choreographed coronation.
Barrack and his supporters best be prepared for the "Political Lynching" that will rival anything previously witnessed in Presidential politics.
Slick and Hill have repeatedly demonstrated a vicious demeanor that is unprecedented whenever their political dynasty has been threatened in the past. Just ask anyone of their innumerable victims.

When Ed Muskey cried on the campaign trail he was the first man to do so. It cost him the election. Since then we've seen Preident's with tears in their eys and thought nothing about it. Bill Clinton got slammed for admiting (sort of) that he smoked pot. Now Obama talks about dioing coke and not many comment. So Hilary got tears in her eyes and people scoff at her. So what? She's getting nailed because she is the first woman to do so. Give her a brake.
Posted by: Barbara | Jan 7, 2008 12:55:13 PM
I was about to say it's all over but the cryin'. But that's happened now too. Stick a fork in her, she is done.
All we need to do is find a fat lady to sing.
Posted by: rj | Jan 7, 2008 12:55:27 PM
The pity vote worked to get her into the Senate, and I'm sure tears would have been more effective earlier in the campaign when her staff wanted to show her human, softer side... but I now know the one thing that can make her cry genuine tears-- that her bargain with Bill actually relied on John Q. Public and not on his "machine".
Listening to my liberal female friends has brought forth this nugget, "He [Bill] has made a worldwide fool of her AGAIN!"
Posted by: 2centsworth | Jan 7, 2008 12:55:30 PM
Hillary is a LOT smarter than Obama. That Hillary had tears in her eyes at a time when people don't take her seriously and REALLY evaluate what her contributions have been and could be is logical. Obama's admitted drug use is worse than Hillary's moist eyes. I, certainly, would NEVER vote for that druggie, degenerate Obama!!!
Posted by: Anna P | Jan 7, 2008 12:55:36 PM
With media present, I am skeptical. Even if it is legitimate, I am not too sympathetic. A woman in her position, her options to serve mankind were limitless, yet she chose to enter the political arena. Hubris, and shame on her if she plays the gender card...
Posted by: James Burnley | Jan 7, 2008 12:55:39 PM
She has no more experience than Obama and less than Edwards. I wouldn't let a Surgeon's wife remove my appendix just because she's been married to a Doctor. Being First Lady is not Presidential experience. Would you elect Barbara or Laura Bush just because they were married to Presidents too?

You cannot create change by being someone who has been in the White House and has had their chance to bring change. We need someone who is not tainted by special interests and will do what is best for the people of this country and not for corporate America. It is time to take back America for the people! Obama O8
Posted by: Mark | Jan 7, 2008 12:57:51 PM
Hmm, she must have done a poll that concluded that tears would work in her favor. This woman should have a weather vane around her neck instead of a cross - she believes in going nay way that the wind blows. I hope that she has a humiliating defeat. She is phony and manipulative and cynical about this country.
Posted by: Jim | Jan 7, 2008 12:58:36 PM
We are electing a President that will face far more difficult decisions that what dress to wear or hair style. This is serious business. And if she is not up to it, then get out of the way because, the real test will be later this year when White Water, the FBI files and all of Bills problems will come home.
Posted by: LRutherford | Jan 7, 2008 12:58:52 PM
What an idiot talking about how Obama is going to legalize drugs and shut down the DEA. If you had been paying attention Ron Paul, a republican/libertarian would be way more likely to do that. Besides, it is actually intelligent to think of a better way to handle non-violent drug offenders rather than mandatory sentences locking them up with tax payers money. These comments must be driven out of fear of Obama's success.
Posted by: Alex C. | Jan 7, 2008 12:58:53 PM
Hillary Clinton may be the establishment, but consider this, if elected on day 1 she will be able to effect change.
How long will it take Barak Obama simply to learn the ropes before he can even start to change things.
The American people have an important choice to make. Barak Obama is a good performer, he has the right slogans, but Hillary Clinton has the experience, and a former President of America to give advice on tap 24 hours a day.
In these times having Bill to go to places like Kenya, or Israel, or Afghanistan, or Pakistan with the full authority of the President of the United States will prove pivotal in the war against terror.
You have a choice to make, look past the lights and the slogans and think honestly who can make the changes required?
Posted by: Chris Linthwaite | Jan 7, 2008 12:59:18 PM
In the last NH debate, only Edwards was playing to win. Obama and Clinton played 'not to lose.'
The realization of defeat and a good cry most likely will result in a Clinton who fights for her dream job. She'll never get my vote, but I'd love to see Hillary's fight.
And, I want Obama to earn the top job...not coast into it on his pretty smile and sweet nothings.

Tears, not a sign of weakness, someone wrote here? You're WRONG. There's a time and place for everything. As leader of the United States, there is NO room for crocodile tears on the campaign trail. It is seen as a sign of weakness and emotional instability. Fast forward to a scenario in the future... World War is pending and Hillary starts boohooing in the face of Al Qaeda. They'll laugh at her. There is NO way in the world Hillary can "lead" when she thinks she deserves to be president. I want a reluctant president. Boo-hoo. (Did that work for me, nawww, won't work for her either).

I run into smarter and stronger women than Hillary every day on the street- she's only there because of her husband (sort of tells why she stayed with him after he cheated on her)- sort of a setback to women's rights if you think about it.
I also run into smarter and more capable black men than Obama almost every day. He does give me a bit of "hope" though- perhaps the fact that he has no experience or capability will actually result in him being open-minded to learning how foolish his policies are- and he'll change them if by some freakish chance he gets elected and actually gets a glimpse of the real world....

Let's see . . . after her Iowa loss many political consultants said Mrs. Clinton needed to soften her image. And then she is in an intimate focus group with independent NH voters and . . . she tears up! She's not that good of an actress -- otherwise people would already like her -- so there must be an onion around there somewhere . . .
Posted by: jeff | Jan 7, 2008 1:00:44 PM
Hillary is crying because she is a master politician.
She knows what to say and do to push people's buttons and get them to support her.
She was cinch to get the nomination a short time ago. She was looking presidential. But then she gave that terrible performance in a debate where she would not give a concrete answer about driver's licenses for illegals. And it has been downhill ever since. If she had just said, no, she opposes them. She would have been all right.
But ever sinc then and now with Obama winning Iowa and soon New Hampshire and he's almost neck in neck in the national polls. When she was twenty points ahead only a couple weeks ago?
I like Hillary but she's finished. People want someone new in the White House. Not another Clinton or Bush.
Looks like it is Obama's year in 2008!
Posted by: Jacksman | Jan 7, 2008 1:01:02 PM
So far, Obama has never been asked TOUGH QUESTIONS... Republicans and FOXnews are quiet about it... for now.... Can we afford to put an INEXPERIENCED guy against the Republican Candidate....
So far, Polls show Obama fair better than Republican Candidate, but as we all know Polls can change...
Posted by: Tommy | Jan 7, 2008 1:01:12 PM

Posted by: LongT | Jan 7, 2008 1:01:29 PM
I don't like Hillary either and won't vote for her under any circumstances (well, maybe if she's against Romney), but give me a break! "then she got emotional, her voice breaking and with tears in her eyes, she spoke about how she is passionate about this election and passionate about the country" and you think that's a BAD thing? I assume you favor soundbytes over emotion. You people have no souls. God help us.
Posted by: longshanks | Jan 7, 2008 1:02:21 PM
Why the ridicule of Hillary getting teary? When Romney took up one hour of air time to presumably explain his faith, which he never really did, on numerous occasions he teared up and no one denigrated him for doing that? The double standard is alive and well! And if anyone thinks an Obama presidency will be a change or an improvement, the myopic are nothing but fools.
Posted by: Terry | Jan 7, 2008 1:02:34 PM
That does it. This person is not emotionally ready to "rule" (this is what she and entourage want to do) this country. That North Korean dictator Kim L Jong would have her in tears, on her knees, begging for his mercy.
She needs medication to "take away her blues". This country doesn't need a mentally unstable person running it.
Posted by: Joe Goris | Jan 7, 2008 1:02:49 PM

Posted by: LaShana | Jan 7, 2008 1:03:18 PM
The only reason why she got emotional is because of frustration. She now knows that the nomination that she thought was hers for the asking has pretty much slipped away from her grasp.

Hillary haters unite! Elect a Republican to the White House again. Obama 2008 = Nader 2000!

"I like Hillary but she's finished. People want someone new in the White House. Not another Clinton or Bush."
Yeah, it's been 20 years since we last had a president who wasn't a Bush or Clinton. I was 10. It's time for something new.

Hillary, cry baby, cry. Stick your fingers in your eyes and let the water FLY. Is this what we want, a crying president when the heat is on.
Fire Up! Ready to Go!
Obama 08!

Hillary gets emotional...that's why I'll never vote democrat, they run/operate on emotions,and not reason. Only trust a few republicans with the safety of your family (no one currently running)and don't trust any democrat!

Sadly, the people that are MOST behind Hillary are ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN and several newspapers and magazines. Oh yeah, and Bill. The rest of America, for the most part, sees through this Clinton crap and will do anything to keep us away from another 4 or 8 years of lies and scams and sleaze, and scandal. Remember Rose Law Firm anyone? The FBI papers? Come on... she's an insane power hungry monster!

"Can we afford to put an INEXPERIENCED guy against the Republican Candidate...."
Could we "afford" the taxes if a Democrat got elected? These people actually make up things like global warming so they can collect more taxes!

Could we finally send the Clintons packing. Enough already. Its been like 20 years of them on center stage. And they can take Al "global warming" Gore with them
EVERYTHING they say is due to a poll and EVERYTHING they say is half truth or outright lie

"She bored the rest of the table answering for ten minutes one realtor's question about real estate insurance."
He asked she answered. What's the issue?
Obama's populism is dangerous.
Even more dangerous is the fact that the mainstream American press will give the man a pass on anything controversial.
His relationship to Islam, a racist Afro-Centric church and cocaine need to be explored. The BC's A, C, and N, are trying to make those issues off limits.
Remember the Chicago Tribune handed Obama his Senate seat in the first place.

Hillary crying? how did she manage to put the peeled onions under her eyes without anyone seeing?
Posted by: joes | Jan 7, 2008 1:06:48 PM
No doubt the questioner was planted and the whole answer rehearsed. Just like Bill, huh?? Did she bite her lower lip too. Gimme a break!

The phrase CROCODILE TEARS was never so well used.

The fit of anger Saturday night, the crying jag today.. obviously she is having “female trouble”. Get her a box of Dove bars and she will be fine in a day or two.
