Everything, and I mean everything, about the Clintons is contrived. Hillary never gave a damn for the people like Billy Dale, whom she ran a bus over, because he, as the head of the White House Travel Office, was simply in her way. She never gave a damn about the women she tried to destroy after they'd had an affair with her predator husband and went public about it. She's always been cruel in her dealing with others. Spare me the crocodile tears.

If you for one second believe those tears are real...you are going to be sent to Iraq, hog tied and beat to a pulp. A few days ago she was saying how Iowa didn't know what they were doing and caucusing is a sham.. now this ... come one Hillary, GET "REAL"!

Obama doesn't even have the emotional strength to quit smoking cigarettes. How strong can the guy be? Hillary tearing up is nothing.

Do you remember who ran against Joe Lieberman? Do you remember President Mc Govern and Kerry? Do you remember President Mike or Walter? Do you remember President to much to the left of the democratic center?

Do you remember how happy you were under President Reagan, Bush I, Bush 2, & Nixon.

If you believe in the tooth fairy, I'm sure that you think that Joe Lieberman lost, that Mc Govern became president, and that we currently are enjoying President Kerry's second term.

Is Obama smart? Yes! Is Obama a nice guy? Yes! Wouldn't you just love to have a beer or a glass of port with Barack? Yes!!! How about a beer with George?

Don't you just love the US under President no-experience Bush? Bush I was much better - he had experience. It's really going great here - isn't it?

Lets be honest - who is going to win from John Mc Cain or Romney? An Obama, an Edwards or a Clinton? Many republicans would gladly vote for Hill - if only Bill would be her one of her top advisors (and Rubin).

Let us elect someone who really can win and bring about as much change as a president possibly can (very little). Let's elect a Clinton. If not Bill, lets make it Hill.

I don't think it was phony.

She's tired, she spent years planning to run, she thinks she's entitled to the nomination, and it's all falling apart. That has to be very tough.

frank francis: Barack Obama is a world-wise, intelligent and capable person. George W. Bush is a halfwit and an ignorant buffoon. Your comparison is way off the mark.

Senator Clinton has spine and backbone or she would not be a US Senator.
When she draws clear distinctions between her position and those of her opponents, she is a bitch. When Edwards does that, he is strong.
When Bush tears up at an event, it is just fine, no conclusions drawn, no derogatory comments.
She was was asked a question about how she does it, how does she keep going on, faced with the withering criticism and vitriol she gets everyday. She is a patriotic American, she has passions as does any individual. She is a public servant who has spent her life doing good for others.
She got emotional because someone recognized how hard she is working and how tiresome it is, and so it hit her at that moment that someone cared enough to ask. Have a little compassion. I am so tired of all the hate out there for Senator Clinton. If Obama is going to unite the country how in the world is he going to get rid of all the hate in the hearts of so many people toward a public servant that he will be working with, and undoubtedly be taking lessons from?
I guess he will have to learn to walk on water too, besides learning how to work with special interest Congress and special interest Supreme Court and special interest NAACP and special interest Unions and special interest AARP members, and special interest environmentalists, and special interest MoveOn.org members. All those groups of real Americans are lobbyist - they lobby their Congresspeople to get what they want. I am a member of most of those private organizations, so I am a special interest. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of Obama and Edwards putting me down.
Unit-er...right. Uh huh uh huh.

What a sad pathetic joke John Edwards has turned into. To think I once supported him.

Re: "What a sad pathetic joke John Edwards has turned into. To think I once supported him."

And I still support Edwards. What he said may sound cruel; but if there is a terrorist attack before the election the 'soccer moms' won't vote for Hillary or anyone who gets teary-eyed.

Not fair, but it's true.

Edward's criticism is correct, but come one people... We all know Edwards cries like a little girl behind the scenes all the time. Ha!

What a jerk comment by Edwards. Showing his true colors...

How stupid do the Clintons really believe the electorate is? They have sunk to their lowest. Enough already....get off the national stage!

And the Academy Award goes to.....Hillary Clinton!

junebug, you hit the nail on the head. I am sick and tired of the Clinton hate (and the Bush hate). She may or may not be your chosen candidate, but she deserves, like anyone else, a basic level of respect.

As for Edwards jumping on it, that is rather lame of him.

The real Hillary Clinton was the one who lost her temper at the debate on Sat night. This is all phony nonsense.

This is one component of a woman president that some people may have overlooked or not have considered. The fairer sex is more emotional. Women more often show their emotion through tears. We are not used to presidential candidates tearing up. I'm sure to many, showing ones emotions like that doesn't seem "presidential". When Gore lost in 2000 did we see him publicly show despair? When Kerry lost a close election did we see him break down?

What a petulant little child. Hillary, that is.

As a certified girlie-man, in Schwartenegger's memorable definition, Edwards certainly tries to portray himself as manly. Where is Rielle, in her gated third trimester, and what does she have to say about the Silk Pony's manhood?

Sometimes I wonder where you folks live, when you say things like "many Republicans would gladly vote for Hillary." Are we even on the same planet? As every poll has confirmed, her negative ratings are sky high, especially - but not entirely - among Republicans. Regarding her tearing up, that won't hurt her. Do you really think that people are worried Hillary Clinton is not tough enough? Hillary Clinton? Come on, this will just humanize her to many people (but I certainly don't think it was contrived, either - I'm not a complete conspiracy nut-job). But Edwards response might well lose him some female voters, if he has any. He came across as a complete jerk, but then that's his campaign theme, I guess. Do you think people are MORE likely to vote for candidates they dislike? Why do you imagine Obama has had this huge swell of support, anyway? All of the Democratic candidates agree about the issues. But people actually LIKE Obama. If you actually want to win this election - for a change - then he's the one to support.
