Watch Clinton get emotional at a campaign stop.

NEW HAVEN, Connecticut (CNN) – Hillary Clinton became teary-eyed during an event at Yale University Monday — a moment that harkened back to her much talked-about display of emotion on the eve of the New Hampshire Primary.

Holding a campaign meeting at the Yale Child Study Center, the New York senator welled up as she was introduced by Penn Rhodeen, a public interest lawyer who worked with Clinton when she was in college.

Rhodeen praised Clinton's efforts as a college student and said, "Here is the abiding truth we know — you have always been a champion for children. Welcome home, dear friend. We are so proud of you."

Though it is difficult to see her reaction in footage of the event (see her reaction by clicking the play button on the right), Clinton's eyes appeared to grow misty during the introduction, according to CNN producer Sasha Johnson. When it was the senator's turn to speak she said, "Well, I said I would not tear up; already we're not exactly on the path."

Clinton's last teary moment on the trail occurred after an undecided voter asked how she was holding up. The moment instantly became the most-covered event on the campaign trail on the day before the critical New Hampshire primary, drawing both praise from some who said Clinton had finally bared her true self to voters, and criticism from those who thought the moment was calculated.

Her timing to get all emotional is always good. So far its never been during the weeks. Always on the eve of something important. Makes me wonder now what she is really up to.

Mary   February 4th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

Oh give me a break, Is this to hold onto California. Hillary you are making all of us women look weak.

Not Again!   February 4th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

This worked in New Hampshire….I CANNOT believe that this is THE tactic Mrs Clinton is using once again. BUT, if this indeed is honest, being a woman, it offends me that she is potraying a weak image to all. How many times have you seen Barack Obama crying?

Lisa in Iowa   February 4th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

I'm sorry, but this seems to me to be a last ditch effort to 'pull a New Hampshire' to gather the sympathy vote. Timing is everything. It won't work.

It will not change my mind. We need Obama.

Honest Heat   February 4th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

Here she goes again…

Daniel from Kansas   February 4th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

This time it won't work.

Tears will not get you elected, Hillary.

This is starting to look very PHONY, indeed.

WI FOR HILLARY   February 4th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

You have are a Chamion and will always be a champion in the whitehouse and in my heart. I love you.

Aj   February 4th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

LOL!!!! ANOTHER crying spell on the EVE b4 Super Tuesday.

TWO WORDS: New Hampshire

Then ask yourself if this is NOT calculated!!!

Ryan M. - Seattle   February 4th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

Give me a large-sized break. I really hope people realize that this tired act is completely disingenuous - especially on the eve of Super Tuesday. Fool me once (NH), shame on you - fool me twice, shame on me!

shamous mc   February 4th, 2008 1:38 pm ET

That's it, we HAVE to vote for her!
She's bringing me to tears.

bbln   February 4th, 2008 1:38 pm ET

oh c'mon CNN - stop picking apart every emotional moment - stop baiting the clinton bashing already. BE FAIR.

Brian   February 4th, 2008 1:39 pm ET

OH NO! SHE'S CRYING AGAIN!

Trey   February 4th, 2008 1:39 pm ET

Come on. This sounds like the same thing she did before to get a boost in the polls. Seems as if she really is that calculating… If Obama could cry on demand maybe he could have won NH

Tyler in Raleigh   February 4th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

Here we go again…. 1, 2, 3, ACTION!!!!!!!!

No wonder HillBilly is dropping in the polls. The Billy acts like he has rabies and is wagging his fingers and telling US we should all be ashamed when he is an impeached, dibarred liar and Hilly cries when it might get her a pity vote.

Then she implies she is strong and he goes touring African-American Churchs. People still buy this??? We will see….

andrew s. rostolder hillsdale nj   February 4th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

i think crying is a sign of weakness, especially in a woman who is capable of using it as a ploy to get what she wants. maybe if obama farted he could level the playing field.

Patty Don't   February 4th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

Are people really stupid enough to buy this again? She's blatantly ripping herself off. COME ON!

Brad, Omaha NE   February 4th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

figures.

tell me again why anyone believes in this rubbish.

Obama 08

Larry, GA   February 4th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

Here we go again.

open your eyes - FL   February 4th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

So, hey everyone, seen the latest? Clinton is trying out for Days of Our Lives in addition to running for the President. What’s that you ask? Oh, yea, she cried again… this time in Connecticut. Why right now you wonder? Well, the audition is tomorrow! Oh, and she’s finally falling behind Barack next-to everywhere and tomorrow is Supah Dupah Tuesday.

Alright, seriously now… This is getting ridiculous. Are all you Clinton die-hards out there going to buy this one too? I’m all for having a woman President, but this woman is a total buffoon. The rest of the world already thinks this country is full of gullible idiots and if she somehow makes it into the White House I think I’m going to have to side with them. This is as if all of the other lying and deceiving by both of them (Hill and Bill) wasn’t bad enough already. People are coming around to it, but for the love of God… why is it taking so long?

Voting Bush in twice was one thing… That’s sort of excused… he at least was pretty secretive in his deception. Plus his whole, buddy buddy, let’s go drink a beer thing… However, this idiot is playing from the cheapest script ever written for a soap opera. Not even an American soap opera… one of those on Telemundo where the women cry through the entire episode and the men wear clown suits.

josh   February 4th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

shes a real persn thats wh i lve her

enomisa   February 4th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

Emotions are fine. What bothers me is the media circus around Obama. I do not share the same problems and struggles as the rich and famous. Hillary will represent the average hardworking American like myself. I do not want a President who is friends with all the influential and famous rich Americans. Who will own him?

josh   February 4th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

go hillar 08

therealist   February 4th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

Remembering her golden Goldwater college days with nostalgia no doubt. If I had sold my soul to get here, I'd be crying too..

Mark C. Eades   February 4th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

I won't claim to know what's instead Hillary's head, but if this was just a last-minute attempt at employing emotional manipulation to win votes as that last tearful moment in New Hampshire appeared to be, I don't think it will be quite so effective this time.

Tom   February 4th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

Again? This trick can only work once. How gullible does she think we are?

rr   February 4th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

Please dont start crying again…she is feeling the hit…

Obama

Kathy   February 4th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

One more time for the popcorn, lean back in your chairs…… here come the Obama supporters.

CNN is a joke. I have fun checking in on the ticker (all Obama, all day, everyday is funny), but I have been watching Fox for the last month to get the most impartial coverage. It's pathetic to have to turn to Fox. It doesn't say much about Fox, but it says everything about CNN.

kw   February 4th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

Go Hillary GO

Ronald, NY   February 4th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

She's trying to get the woman vote like in NH

Tom   February 4th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

Here we go again…

An Agnostic Democrat   February 4th, 2008 1:43 pm ET

Oh, here we go again! I'm beginning to see a pattern here. Don't play us for small you insincere, faking, pandering, lyin' sack o' crap. I've lost all respect for you, and wouldn't vote for you if you were the ONLY candidate in the race! What a drama queen!!! I'm not that gullible apple cheek girl.

Cris   February 4th, 2008 1:43 pm ET

I am also proud of Hillary and her life. What a woman. You always had my vote.

Hillary 08!!!!

Family in Parkville   February 4th, 2008 1:43 pm ET

24-Hours before the election another scheduled Evita-Moment …

Worked in NH, so why not now ? Do what it takes, say what they want to hear.

The Billlary Soap Opera in Season 3 ….

It's OBAMA'08 or McCain ! No way I would vote for these faked power junkies.

leezee   February 4th, 2008 1:43 pm ET

I guess you gotta' stick with what works…

Jennifer   February 4th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

CNN, why are you showing this ? You want to help Clinton again ?

Shame on you CNN and Hillary !!!

The American people cannot be deceived twice !

Isaac   February 4th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

Oh brother, there goes the election, again.

Eric   February 4th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

Oh my..a day before super tuesday and she gets misty…sounds familiar?

C.Lo   February 4th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

I clearly don't buy that one. That's all I have to say!

michael, ny   February 4th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

3 days ago, I asked this question: 'When is she going to cry again?'

I knew that was coming. America, get ready for a Teary term is she wins the nomination.

Robin Wagner from ct   February 4th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

This a women wants to President . She must be down in polls again like NH .
She can play with the big guys . Take it like a big guy . Chock up again. Snit SNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There something wrong with a women wants to president and cry all time , 24 just before voting time , SAD …. I trust her , NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Andrew   February 4th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

Really Hillary? Again? Once again the day before an important primary (or in this case the biggest day of the primary season)?

Matt   February 4th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

Well, it seems only natural, given the introduction she was getting. For the critics sure to follow, this is not in the same vein as the event in New Hampshire where it looked like Clinton was on the ropes. But, CNN and other media outlets will no doubt make this a "story".

COLLECTIVE WILL   February 4th, 2008 1:46 pm ET

Hillary spoke about health care AND either gave UNSATISFACTORY answers to everyday costs of living or DID NOT ANSWER

Independent Voter   February 4th, 2008 1:46 pm ET

Big deal… she was having nice things said about her. By the way the news media portrays her, she really is human, humans get emotional. I can hear the Hillary haters now.

Of course this is the first news story CNN puts on their 'political ticker' today about Hillary Clinton.

Eric   February 4th, 2008 1:46 pm ET

BTW, please mention that even the Yale school paper endorsed Obama, not Hillary Clinton. What does that tell you?

AA   February 4th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

Does she really think that crying will help her after she looses tomorrow? Come on now…….suck it up and keep it moving Hilary…jeez

Glenda Green   February 4th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

I am so proud of the two events where Hillary showed that women "have hearts". Call it emotion, hormones, whatever….it is so welcomed compared to testosterone contests.

Latino for Obama   February 4th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

This is completely calculated. She can't buy me with your tears!! I want to know what she did for America when she wasn't running for office; when she wasn't on the board of Wal-mart; when there was nothing to gain; when there was something to lose.

OBAMA 08′

SJonathan   February 4th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

It worked last time! What a thespian!

marky   February 4th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

she is going to win for sure now.

Michael McClain   February 4th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

Oh you've got to be kidding me.

Elizabeth   February 4th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

Well, it is about that time. . . we'll see if it works this time.

Dero   February 4th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

Cryin' again… 2 days before another primary? Never change a winning habit, Hillary! :-)
By any means necessary, The Presidency!

Ellery   February 4th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

I hate people who always try to belittle Hillary:

If she is strong..she is a B*** who is hungry for power
If she shows emotion, she is not a strong commander-in-chief

Give me a break….She is human and she is a good person, who is really a champion for children's causes. If you do not want to vote for her, atleast do not belittle her. She is anice person.

As for me, she has my vote

stan pitts pa   February 4th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

Another shameless attempt to confuse female voters…..remeber the saying fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice……..American women are strong and independent and want to see a female president just not her!

Veronica Ward   February 4th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

I think she was honestly shaken, she has done a lot for children. Most of the tearing up was probably because Yale is begging Obama to come and speak to them. maybe Hillary feels that they do like and appreciate her, finally.

She went to Yale, yet they are chasing Obama to make a sppech there, that has got to hurt.

GO OBAMA!

David   February 4th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

bOOO wHOOO hooo.

What a crybaby!

Ron, TX   February 4th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Let's put it in perspective CNN. The last time it happened (and the ONLY time it's happened), Obama was surging in the polls, and she was losing.

This time, guess what? Obama is surging in the polls, and she is losing.

Cry me a river. If you don't think it's calculated, you've been drinking too much kool-aid. You want a fact? She worked for her holier-than-thou Children's Defense Fund LESS than -one year-. She worked as a corporate attorney at a powerful corporate law firm for -15 years-.

Stacy Clarks, Texas   February 4th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Here we go again, Clinton sees the polls are closing in on her, and there comes the calculated tears….PLEASE QUIT CLINTON!! WE'RE NOT GOING TO BUY IT A SECOND TIME!!!

OBAMA/EDWARDS 08!!!!!!!

Melissa in CA   February 4th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

This is just shameless.

Everytime she is losing, she starts crying to get a sympathy vote.

When she is winning, the knives come out.

Go away, you fake lying Clintons!! The only tears you have are for your own ego.

anne   February 4th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Desperate times, desperate measures, no surprise, she will do anything to win, sad sad sad, maybe she should shed some tears about her husband's dealings in the mining industry. At least Americans can she her for what she is……
Obama 08

Eric   February 4th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

She also is suffering from the flu or a cold very bad…just listen to her voice. Some of this welling up could be due to lack of sleep and being ill.

Andre   February 4th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

another sign…this is the second time she has cried…..when was the last time anyone saw a presidential candidate cry…..twice……is this the strength we need for the country?

Go Obama!

Christiaan, Norman, OK   February 4th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Has anyone else noticed that Hillary Clinton never shows a speck of emotion until the day before a critical primary?

People accuse Obama of being without substance, or proffering kool-aide for all of us idiots to drink up. But at least he's not trying to emotionally manipulate the entire country.

Not Buying It   February 4th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

This may have worked in NH, but not this time…you are going to lose HRC

Trokon   February 4th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

CNN.com, I do not want you to show such a shameful cry of inexperience on either the Tv or internet. As Hillary Clinton declear herself to be an experience woman with a good eigth year of her husband presidency and her 35 years jobs, She must not be asking for mercy or sympathy. It is not her first time. She not capable to lead the World Supper Power, and I request her to conceed to Barack Obama, the next president of America. I this hot she will be crying at World meetings or in the state house of other leaders. It is a disgrace for the Clitons. Barack, yes we can!!

tears of a clown   February 4th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

oh. come on!!! really!!! not calculated?

Adams   February 4th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

OBAMA CONTINUES TO BE A THREAT TP NATIONAL MATURITY!

BIG EGO AND LITTLE EXPERIENCE, OBAMA CONTINUES HIS CRUSADE TO HAND THE NEO CONS THE WHITE HOUSE.

WE ALL KNOW THAT IT WILL TAKE A HEAVY WEIGHT LIKE HILLARY TO TAKE BACK OUR DEAR WHITE HOUSE.

VOTE TO WIN THINK

Smile   February 4th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Awww come on, not again Hillary.

artseafartsea   February 4th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

The woman is human. Hillary has been through a lot. And she will win the nomination and the election for president! It would be nice if the white male press were not consistently putting her down and elevating Obama to the highest. Wonder what that is about?

FJ   February 4th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

Didn't she tear up the day before the NH primary also? Sounds a litttle too coincidental to be sincere.

Faiza, Los Angeles, CA   February 4th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

wow right on cue before Super Tuesday and in a state that is voting tomorrow, ugh.

NickNas   February 4th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

C'Mon!!!! On the eve of yet ANOTHER Primary??? Is this timeing just a little suspicious to ANYONE???????

COLLECTIVE WILL   February 4th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

Hillary's audience may have been under the weather

Honestlady   February 4th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

Not this mess again!!!!!!

Proud Democrat   February 4th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

A personal moment between Hillary and her old professor is not "news". I am in awe at the unbelievable bias in favor of Obama. He can literally do no wrong in your eyes…Let the voters decide tomorrow who they want. By the way; why no reporting on the campaigning of Robert Kennedy Jr on behalf of Hillary? Oh well, a little to hopeful I guess.

John Adkisson   February 4th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

Not again.

Even accepting the tears are genuine, the media's coverage of this on the day before Super Tuesday is insulting to the intelligence of voters.

Of course it is ok to well up — but it is irrelevant. On the other hand, reporters know that emotion drives some voters and it is their manipulation of the images, not the fact of the event, that foreseeably alters impressions.

Given the timing of this story, the coverage is also demeaning to women by playing to an outdated stereotype that women are either: (1) to be pitied when under pressure; or (2) to be demonized for perceived weakness. Neither is a stereotype that holds up — but this kind of over the top coverage feeds into the stereotypes and has the potential (see New Hampshire) of changing election results.

This brand of journalism (which is not limited to CNN, but is widespread) is bad enough when applied to celebrity news. But when applied to important public affairs stories it is really out of hand.

seektruth   February 4th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

It is nice to see her do it again , this unfortunatly remind me of a acting set up! but Do you see any comader in chief in the world get so fragile? and fears and tears of her misled us into war and disaster?

we are electing a leader with good judgement in the crises of the war on terror, and ablity to unite this country to get job done(health reform and econemy plan etc.
she is smart and work hard but we are choose a leader for our future our childer' children! as a women I choose Obama for our children' future ! he can offer nex generation a safer and stronger America and in the the world !
Obama 08!

dmw   February 4th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

No matter how hard the media and the Obama campaign try to paint Hillary as some monster, divider, polarizer, she has fought for Children for all of her adult career. She is an advocate for people. She will and has always brought great change to those in need.

I do hope that the media will be more fair with her. And I do hope that America in general will say, although Obama is a good speaker, orator, and does encourage us; Hillary does as well and she has proven results.

She is the best option for our country right now to deal with all of our issues. I am so sick and tired of the media and Obama supporters, and Obama himself being so arrogant and disrespectful of the work Hillary has done.

If she does not get the nomination, then I know this country is blindly lead. Experience DOES count. At least for people like myself who have worked hard and grew up knowing that if you work hard, you will be rewarded.

Hillary is a good woman.

Lightning   February 4th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

STOP PLAYING UP THE HILLARY TEAR FACTORY.

I'm sure that Osama bin Laden and all the other terrorists are laughing at us right now that we might pick a President who cries during the election. If she can't handle the rigors of the election, how set is she to handle the most powerful position in the world?

Hope08   February 4th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

How nice! Any other candidate trying to cry would be smashed… She just gets more votes, 'cause she is "emotional". Oh… I forgot… this race is not about gender…

Staying with Bill after the scandal for career reasons, fighting unions at Wal-Mart, supporting Iraq war… and now she wants us to believe that she is sensitive as an innocent baby. Well, she is really EXPERIENCED in lying and faking.

Captain   February 4th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Looks like she's looking for lightening to strike in the same place twice!!! I will be stunned if voters fall for this. A recent Gallop article shows that her support from women is being lost to Obama. Add yesterday's Oprah event to the picture and we get a desperate Hillary trying to work the same magic she pulled off in New Hampshire, where polls showed her female support being lost to Obama.

Its sad and pathertic really. And no, I am not criticizing because she is a woman. i am criticizing because SHE IS PHONY AS BOLOGNA.

Marti, San Diego CA   February 4th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Oh boy. Does anyone else see the pattern here? She was getting smashed in NH and then comes along a "teary moment". In recent days she has slipped considerably in the polls–including among *women*–and here we go with another manipulative "teary moment".

Rence   February 4th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

This is the real Hillary. Hillary is a candidate that able to solve complicated issues. Obama is just full of hopes but no solid plans. Ill vote for Hillary…

Eric   February 4th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

It is human to feel emotion and campaigns must be incredibly demanding. While I want to think the best of Hillary, it is her perfect timing that gives me pause…

Joyce memphis, tn   February 4th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Don't cry Hillary. We know you have done extrordinary things for EQUAL RIGHTS for those who don't have a voice..like children, underpaid/overworked mothers, and all those who are struggling to make ends meet. As a 25yr old single black mother, I thank you for your commitment. Only YOU can truly change America. You have my vote.

T.O   February 4th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Again!!?? That says it all

NSM   February 4th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Wow, she deserves an Oscar for Best Actress after this campaign is over.

Curious Voter   February 4th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Ah, I see…whenever Barack Obama looks like he's pulling ahead in the polls, just shed some tears in a women-dominated meet-the-voters event and pull the woman vote away the next day. Smooth move, Hillary…

Todd, Grove City, Ohio   February 4th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Again????????????
And one day before people vote…..AGAIN?

This kind of political pandering is the reason people hate politics.

Put away the crocodile tears.

John in Charlotte   February 4th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Is this going to happen every time she starts dropping in the polls?

Trokon   February 4th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
CNN.com, I do not want you to show such a shameful cry of inexperience on either the Tv or internet.

It is not her first time. She not capable to lead the World Supper Power, and I request her to conceed to Barack Obama, the next president of America.

"Barack Obama— Barck Obbama—!!

seanmahair   February 4th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Good to know that when a crisis looms our future president will get all weepy and shed a tear. I'm sure the terrorists and America haters will back right off.

Jamil, IL   February 4th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

Okay… after NH - who didn't see this coming? I don't hate Hillary but if she is going to make this a pattern the day before a VERY close race (or an anticipated blowout, like NH), then it only reinforces people's perception of her calculation.

The "women voting bloc" may jump on this once - but Hill can only shed tears no many times before the expiration dates on people's empathy with her emotions to win her some votes.

colorblind   February 4th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

oh brother…. more tears……. i hope this isn't going to be a habit for her….. "whenever i have a fear of losing i cry"

even Bill would say "give me a break"

Mr. T   February 4th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

Another stunt by Clinton as national poll numbers show she is losing her big lead.

dina   February 4th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

oh no..not again crying baby…..

Paul, Atlanta   February 4th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

Go Hillary! We love you, You'll make the best President!

charlotte   February 4th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

God bless you Hillary for your tireless efforts on behalf of the smallest of us. Your dedication to the less fortunate will always be your most enduring quality. Some people want to deny your service from your youth through the present. I pray you will be given the opportunity to serve us at the highest level of Government, The Presidency of the United States of America.
Hillary 08

AJ, IL   February 4th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

Let's see…A recap of the past week's political news…

FOR OBAMA
Caroline Kennedy and Ted Kennedy endorses Obama
SEIU-California, NY Post and LA Times endorse Obama
Oprah stumps for Obama in California
Obama rallies pulling in 8,000 to 30,000 people per event
Maria Shiver endorses Obama in surprise appearance

FOR HILLARY
Bill Clinton stumps in "black churches"
Hillary cries in Connecticut

Wow! Hillary's is going to try a "New Hampshire cry me a river scene" prior the Feb. 5th primaries and caucauses. How weak. Go Obama!

Obama in '08!

RP   February 4th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

I don't know, but this is truly frustrating to see. Although I support Obama, I would have supported Hillary if she had become the Dems candidate (anyone of them is better than the Republican candidates). But this is just too much. I am all for human emotions and I felt sympathy for her first tears, but if this continues, she will not be able to represent the US on the international platform. It is fine to have emotions anywhere, but I expect the president and commander in chief to keep those emotions in check. I am now not so sure anymore whether Hillary desrves any support from anyone… Too bad. I these tears are genuine, then she is weak, if they were calculated, she's got a flawed character. Either way, this is not good for our country.

Cali Voter   February 4th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

I'm really not sure why this one made the ticker; Hillary got a little misty eyed during a beautiful introduction from an old professor of hers. I saw a few thousand men crying last night when the Patriots lost as well as quite a few Giants crying over their victory! C'mon folks let's focus on the issues here this isn't American Idol.

Steve   February 4th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

So first she cries the day before the NH primary and now she cries again the day before Super Tuesday?

CHANGE IS COMING   February 4th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

SAVE IT, IT WILL NOT WORK THIS TIME HILLARY. SORRY.

Here we go again!

c   February 4th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

In the future, please check with Michelle, Maria, Oprah, Caroline, Claire, Kathleen, and Janet but most of all the real women of this country who never got the invitation to Yale. And I bet if they did get to Yale they would be crying out of joy for the future, not sadness.

Joe   February 4th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

Hillary forever. What a great startergy. Right thing at the right moment! Good Bye Obama! Hillary '08.

Carol, NH   February 4th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

I hope the women of the rest of the nation are smarter than the women of new hampshire who fell for this staged act last time. It is clearly an attempt to lure in sexist voting,

Yes, we should have a woman president
But not the divider that Hillary Clinton is.

Obama 2008

Sam   February 4th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

When Hillary wins, she wins over Obama, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, FOX, and all the pundits (or anti Hillary bunch). Hillary is holding up remarkably well given the one sided coverage in this campaign.
The coverage of this primaries will be remembered in history as one where the media did all they could to stop Hillary. I should add that, the media is not really interested in seeing Democrats do well in the general election. All it would take to take down Obama is just the first "swiftboat" the Republicans will surely shoot his way.

The only way Democrats win in the general election is with Hillary. She has withstood any fire the Republicans can shoot her way for the past 16 years. Nothing new they can drum up against her. They are scared "###" of HRC because they she is the only one that can beat them.

Democrats, do not fall into the traps that the national media is setting up for you. Clinton/Obama ticket is the only way to go.

ACT   February 4th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

Hillary is going to cry again, let us see whether she can fool us twice

gg   February 4th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

Hillary has been endorsed by the National AFSCME (union of state, county, municipal employees)-yet you will never hear about it on CNN because Cnn is discriminating against her on the basis of gender. If Obama were endorsed by this large national union, we would never hear the end of it on CNN because Obama is a man-get it? Where is the NOW. They should confront CNN.

Sick of those nasty Wolf Blitzer comments also. e.g., "naive" etc.

Hillary has a law degree from Yale. But all we hear about is Obama's degree from Harvard. Well Mitt Romney also has a law degree from Harvard (as well as MBA)- something else we don't hear much about on CNN.

Not Hillary   February 4th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

You've got to be kidding me!
Will people see her games finally?

PJ   February 4th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

Do we really need a president who cries at the drop of the hat? It always seems to happen the day before a big vote and she is probably going to lose.

linda, OKC OK   February 4th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

here comes the waterworks AGAIN…………

Joe   February 4th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME! If this works again, I may lose my mind.

Kamuzangaza   February 4th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

Why is it that whenever the polls show that Hillary might loose she becomes teary? I never saw her become teary on the eve of the Nevada caucuses when she was far ahead in polls. In New Hampshire when the polls were tight, she cried, and this time around her lead in polls is fast disappearing, and she is crying. Does she only become emotional when polls are tight?? This time I do not think the New Hampshire trick will work

Dana   February 4th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

I don't think that's fake so CNN just stop it. I seriously think Senator Clinton is dedicated to children and the poor as evidenced by her 1992 healthcare initatives. Everyone is jumping on her for mistakes but every last one of those candidates has made mistakes. However, when Clinton makes a mistake it's public headlines and she is tarred and feathered for it. This is not right. People need to stop jumping on the Obama bandwagon and vote with their minds and hearts. Sure OBama is a nice guy with a great message, but what has he done. Nothing! Hillary has done a lot of good legislative work. She knows what works in D.C. and what doesn't. Obama is just feeding the people what they want to hear. He is charming people with a message of hope. At the end of the day though whoever gets in the white house has an enormous task to do. This is not American Idol. This is the Presidency of the U.S. Obama will not be able to accomplish what he is alleging he is gonna do. Senator Clinton has done so and is still trying.

I can understand why she got emotional because this campaign has been trying on her and it is testing her. She is genuine and the real deal. She has worked hard for children and the poor and she is dedicated to making a better America. Obama is not right for this country right now. He will be right in 8 years. He can't do what Hillary Clinton will be able to do and that is turn these last past years of the Bush administration around and put America back on track to a positive road. Obama I believe will make huge mistakes because of his naivety about how Washington works. People he can not wave a magic wand over D.C. and change it. That won't happen D.C. is never gonna work like that. Yes you have to work with people but clearly Clinton has been doing that because she wouldn't have been a U.S. Senator and making positive changes for the past 8 years. All these endorsements that OBama are getting are unwarranted. People are just jumping on the bandwagon because he is considered a rock star and because it's the in thing to do. These are celebrities who will not suffer if Obama makes mistakes. This is serious though people. This is about the war, our economy, our healthcare, our security, our children, our future. Please think about what you are doing before you cast your vote.

Shawn Smith, Kansas City, MO   February 4th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

how could anyone find her atrocious? the woman has done so much for health care, much more than obama has, yet everyone thinks he is the viable candidate?

vote smart people, not with the hype of hollywood endorsement of a 'likeable' candidate…

CHERYL   February 4th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

I THINK OBAMA IS TRYING TO DIG UP SOME EXPERIENCE THAT HE CAN PUT HIS NAME ON! I WONDER IF OPRAH CAN BUY HIM SOME!
*****************GO HILLARY*************************

Tom   February 4th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

I think she has this ability to cry at will! Women across america are being taken for a ride.

Now,Super Tuesday eat that!

Voter 08   February 4th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

Here we go again, she is at it again with the calculated tears. Somebody tell her to stop. It worked the first time, it wont work again

Stephen- Independent   February 4th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

Not Again!!! Can she win by crying her way to the presidency? This is really deceptive!!!

ErikS   February 4th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

Oh, ok, it must be the day before voting AGAIN. Time for "misty eyes" once again . This woman is a disgrace.

EE   February 4th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

This is really Silly for Sen Clinton with teary eyes. Emotions are good but when emotions become political tools they can become demotions

Alex, VA   February 4th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

After the way the media has been hammering her, I'm sure a friendly comment was extremely welcome. Keep going Hillary, we love you out here, and we want you to succeed!

Ray-Give it a rest   February 4th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Ray, do you ever work. In every ticker you have somthing to say about the Clintons. I made a post here because I know you will posted somthing soon. I know you support the Clintons but I hope your able to pay your bills with all the time you spend on CNN. Speaking of bills, I guess I will have a new one taken out of my paycheck. Mandated healthcare. Some people in the country like to be left alone.

Susan   February 4th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Now this is funny. Why is she crying. There is no need for this. You are running for the President of the United States. We do not need cry babies.

CHERYL   February 4th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

HILLARY FOR WOMEN! SHOW THEM YOU CAN CRY CRY CRY AND BE PRESIDENT!

Leah DiMarco, TX   February 4th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

The 'emotion' card won't play this time!

Obama '08

EE   February 4th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Whys is Sen Clinton doing this? I hate this.

Karen from Minnesota   February 4th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

So Hillary tears up and it 's big news. Plaxico Burress teared up after the Superbowl win and it's not big news. I say it's ok for both of them to get teary-eyed. After all, they both were overwhelmed by a positive event. Most of what we hear now re Hillary is so negative. Everything Obama does is viewed positively by the media…what gives?

Adarrah for Obama   February 4th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Here's what Clinton said in last week's California debate:

Well, I would go back 35 years, Wolf, because when I first got out of law school, I didn't want to go to work for a law firm. I wanted to go to work for the Children's Defense Fund and to work on behalf of — (applause) — abused and neglected kids and kids with disabilities and kids who didn't have education or health care.
And I really spent a great deal of my early adulthood, you know, bringing people together to help solve the problems of those who were without a voice and were certainly powerless. I was honored to be appointed by President Carter to the Legal Services Corporation, which I chaired, and we grew that corporation from 100 million to 300 million. It is the primary vehicle by which people are given access to our courts when they have civil problems that need to be taken care of.

And here's what she didn't say:

Clinton worked at the Children's Defense Fund for less than a year, and that's the only full-time job in the nonprofit sector she's ever had. She also worked briefly as a law professor.
Clinton spent the bulk of her career — 15 of those 35 years — at one of Arkansas' most prestigious corporate law firms, where she represented big companies and served on corporate boards like Wal-Mart.

Neither she nor her surrogates, however, ever mention that on the campaign trail. Her campaign Web site biography devotes six paragraphs to her pro bono legal work for the poor but sums up the bulk of her experience in one sentence: "She also continued her legal career as a partner in a law firm."

Carib-girl   February 4th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Hillary R. Clinton is just a fake, every time the polls says that Obama is closing in she begins to get very emotional and shed her fake crocodile tears just like she did right before New Hampshire primary. People needs to wake up and smell the coffee. There's something stinks around here. This teary eye moment is also calculated.

Go OBAMA. Yes we can!

Heather   February 4th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

Oh no she didn't. I'm kidding. Anyone who is a champion for our children gets a hug from me.

BUT I'M STILL VOTING OBAMA. LOL. Georgians for Obama. Yeah!!!!!!!!!

Mati   February 4th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

Media, stop insinuating what it didn't happen. What kind of people are you? What do you have with this woman? It is totally unfair. Being emotional has nothing to do with 'teary moment'. This campaign will remain in history as an example of media's unprofessionalism.

Hillary'08!!

Colin   February 4th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

This is an utter load of crap, If your'e going to cry every time you face adversity you do not deserve to be President!! She used this tactic once in new hampshire and now she is using it again.

Ryan   February 4th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

Give me a break!!!

Jeff Breedlove   February 4th, 2008 2:02 pm ET

I read an internet article early this morning taking bets on when, before Super Tuesday", would Hillary tear-up and become one of the common people again. Well, guess what, right on cue, her it came at Yale University. If this is not a clear sign that she will do anything to garner a vote, then what is? She should collar Bill, dry her eyes, and go about the business of what her stands are on the issues. She got so much coverage out of the first "cry" that I guess she figured she would go for it again. Too bad, I was not going to vote for her before the first time but at least I had some respect for her platform.

Chad   February 4th, 2008 2:02 pm ET

You have got to be kidding. Clinton is a joke.

Anonymous   February 4th, 2008 2:02 pm ET

try again hillary.

SAMO   February 4th, 2008 2:02 pm ET

Don't worry Hillary. Remember, the national media tried to bury you in NH and they failed. By Tuesday night, they would learn another lesson - that people are not as stupid as the media think.
We, the people, remember all the good deeds you have done all your life. Good people don't forget these things.
Hang in there Hillary. The truth is on your side.

Jessica NJ   February 4th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

And the Oscar goes to…………..HIllary Clinton! Hillary please spare us the "I am about to lose" theatrics. It will not work for you this time. I really was going to vote for Hillary but this little BS act made me lose respect for her totally!

Obama you now have my vote!

barry   February 4th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

She must be desperate, like crying to get out of a speeding ticket, only this time to prevent losing…how pathetic.

Jason, Atlanta   February 4th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

This women is so full of IT! I guess she thinks we voters are so stupid that we will fell sympathetic and vote for her. Perhaps she didn't get the memo, we are electing a PRESIDENT and not a VICTIAM!

gaithers   February 4th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Oh no - not again! It won't work this time!!

Xavier   February 4th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

She has a heart. She is real. Hillary has my vote and support.

Scott, Royal Oak, MI   February 4th, 2008 2:04 pm ET

Alright, I do think it would be hard to completely fake crying. Still, this is the second time this has happened right on the eve of a vital campaign day…

Usman   February 4th, 2008 2:04 pm ET

Yet again she is shown to be down in the polls, and yet again the tears start flowing.

It's a shame that she has to resort to this strategy to win.

Ray   February 4th, 2008 2:04 pm ET

So CNN finally puts something up about Hillary and its this. Obama Cult members are going to JUMP all over this.

She does get emotional people..Get over it.

Hillary 08

lu   February 4th, 2008 2:04 pm ET

perhaps hillary is getting "teary-eyed" because she knows Obama is breathing down her neck…and her nomination is NOT a sure thing..or perhaps this is the new strategy…after all, she has tons of experience is holding back the emotions so why not is she having problems doing so? Seems to me..same ole, same ole…we are being played by the Clintons

Ray Rodgers   February 4th, 2008 2:04 pm ET

I would rather see Clinton being a human being with emotions like the rest of us than to hear how Mcains mother was able to buy a car on her trip to france. My Mother can't even afford to get her car worked on lot less even have a bus trip around france. Thanks to Mcain for showing us how good life can be.

Tammie   February 4th, 2008 2:04 pm ET

AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VOTERS BEWARE!!!

How many times will you fall for this stunt!!! It's a pity it worked in New Hampshire. Shame on you Hillary; you make us women look like we can't handle ourselves.

REALLY Hillary; like Bill said, you are "the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen. GIVE ME A BREAK!"

R.M.   February 4th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

Do you want to have a president who cries in public so ofter, America? Once is ok, people have emotions but twice in such a short period? How many times can we expect to see it if Hillary were to be Commander-in-chief? Grow up Hillary!!

Steve   February 4th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

Hmmm… I was looking for the tears, but didn't see any on the video. Phantom tears?

v.ananthan   February 4th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

There is nothing wrong with people getting emotional..

This only shows that they are involved ..

NOTHING ELSE !!!!!!.

This will be really sad if OBAMA uses this to tell the people that HILLARY is crying to gett more votes…

grant   February 4th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

again? I hope women don't fall for this one too. How pathetic. Is she going to cry everytime her job gets tough? or her approval ratings drop? World leader?

Carole   February 4th, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Hillary - I wish you the best on Super Tuesday. You have my vote. I know I will either not vote or vote Republican if you do not get in and would not be surprised if a lot of people feel the same way. Good luck to you!!!

Eric   February 4th, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Wow, Mrs. Clinton seems to only get teary before major primary dates.

I seriously hope that no one is naive enough not to see right through it.

Do they think we are that stupid?

Carrie   February 4th, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Here she goes again!

Obama 08

Angela   February 4th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

OMG!

Hillary, I thought you have style; another tears on the even of super Tuesday? Well, it worked on NH then why not try it again and see how effective that tool is.

However, the overcome it is becoming true that you can do anything and everything to get votes.

I am disappointed, quite tears and discuss the issues.

Sabi Kanani   February 4th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

Well, isn't that convenient…once again. Boy I'll tell ya, Hillary knows how to play the game.

Valdez   February 4th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

When does this madness ever end? Hillary will do anything to be elected. I guess you do whatever you have to in order to win. It worked in New Hampshire so I guess she figures it'll work all over on Super Tuesday. Whatever.

Mary K. Clinton, Iowa   February 4th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

Oh, please.
Haven't the Oscar noms already been announced?

TEH   February 4th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

DEAR GOD.. again??!!! What is next? The President of the USA cries because Putin was mean to her? Get a grip and stop the sleezy tactics.

Joseph   February 4th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

Haven't we done this already?

Ed   February 4th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

It worked last time. Maybe the tears will work again. Whatever it take to get Bill Clinton a 3rd and 4th term. Redemption is ours!!

Branddon   February 4th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

Everytime Barack makes a jump in the pulls Hillary gets teary eyed. Watch her poll margins go up again, ha!

go blue   February 4th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

The tears won't help her much in November if she's running against a former prisoner-of-war.

Jim in the Boonies   February 4th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Oh Geez … here we go again ! It worked just before NH, get all choked up and hope to rally the emotional vote, cause you can't win with the educated one! OK ladies, its up to you .. fool you twice ?

Sam   February 4th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Ok. So she's human. And why is this front page news when there are people being killed in Kenya, Iraq, and elsewhere?

I think it's equally hilarious and saddening that the election has been drawn out extra early to cover all of the "bad news" around the world for the sake of creating Bush's "legacy."

Mike, St. Paul MN   February 4th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

…will do ANYTHING to win.

ANYTHING.

Tom   February 4th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Again with the phony crying? How transparent can you be? And, for those of you who think all these waterworks have been genuine, do you really want to spend the next four years with President Cry-baby?

Rob   February 4th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

When Obama cries his tears cure cancer and diabetes

When Hillary cries her tears sting like chili in the eye

Cph9680   February 4th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Do ya'll really want to vote for someone whose gonna start crying everytime she's looking for attention?

Shon   February 4th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Oh My God! Here we go again!!!!! She is being desparate, pulling out all of tricks again! This time…the crying routine won't work and it will backfire.

jthay   February 4th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

I find it dubious timing that once again as the polls turn on her she suddenly finds a wellspring of emotion. Though I believe Senator Clinton is a powerful force in politics I have a hard time believing she is truly here to promote anything but her own agenda, and time and time again she shows exactly how calculated she is in pursuing it. Once I suppose I could believe, but twice at such opportune moments really makes me question her sincerity.

ME   February 4th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Of course, CNN will spin this…..
Heaven forbid and Old friend treat Hillary like a human and speak well about her….one who holds old photos and memories of her from YEARS ago…he knew what she was capable of and saw a remarkable woman with a bright future.

Please let this man's memory stand as proof of the person she is……

brian mac   February 4th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Please stop reporting on the ocular secretions of Ms. Clinton. She's either calculating the tears once again before a primary day (in which case your reporting is playing into her tactic) or she's displaying human emotion (in which case your reporting is pointless).

JK   February 4th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

The crocodile tears worked last time - why not try it again? What an obvious politically calculated ploy. Despicable.

Ken   February 4th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Oh Lord… another calculated emotional moment. Has anyone realized that she always does this a day before the most important primaries? Don't be fooled, Hillary Clinton is not emotional.

PresidentsDon'tCry!   February 4th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

The crying gag is getting old ! She'll really be crying after she gets the results from Super Tuesday. Crocodile tears may have worked before, but to "cry" a second time on the campaign trail is too much to take. Is she going to cry if we go to war ? Will she cry if we're attacked ? Give me a break ! Crying is not Presidential , it's simply an attempt to get sympathy votes, plain & simple ! Go Obama !

Elizabeth   February 4th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Does no one else see this as insanely manipulative? The only two times we've seen Hillary act like a real person have both been the day before big elections. Are Americans too naive to see through this? I hope not. Obama '08

ap   February 4th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Again with the crying??? C'mon already. Is this emotional and unstable behavior a sign of what is to come if she is to be elected to higher office? We need a strong leader who is not going to start crying at the drop of a hat.

Courtney S.   February 4th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Ohh, she must be reacting to the latest national Polls….

So she cries…again, the day before a HUGE election…hummmm…Nice way to show you're a "strong woman"!

Its a new age, a new time, for a new generation!

Obama '08

JK   February 4th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Look at the timing–getting teary the day before a major primary battle, again. How can this NOT be calculated?

Paul   February 4th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Guess she know's she's in trouble again looking at the polls, time for some more "crockadile" campaigning.

terry   February 4th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Not again! The day before another voing. Yeah, right!
I really don't believe her now!

Murry   February 4th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Not this again, the personality transplant. She's been described as shrill and calculating for decades. Why are we to believe that she's now sensitive? Ridculous. Why does it take 60 years for her to find her voice? Her opponent apparently found his a long time ago.

concerned   February 4th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

hold on, we love you!

Kevin   February 4th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

I feel pretty strongly anti-Clinton at this point, but this is just not a story. She was being introduced by a friend who's known her for 40 years, and she felt the emotion of the moment. No more, no less. Let's move on.

Mike   February 4th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

She cares and has always cared. At the same time is tough as nails. Exactly what we need. Obama is a nice guy and smart but he has no idea what he is stepping into. Hillary is fully aware of the presidential game and how to do the job.

LeeNYC   February 4th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

This is honestly very, very pathetic. We can't afford to have a president who cries everytime she feels the emotion. Seriously, how will it look if she starts crying at the G8 Summit??!!??

Hilary, you're only undermining your power and losing credibilty among the American voters. The presidency requires a certain level of stolidness.

Obama '08

Cry Me a River   February 4th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

Interesting timing. Can this possibly work again? Her juvenile mud-slinging is exceeded only by her infantile cry tactics.

Manny, NY   February 4th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Here we go again!!

It won't work this time.

Obama 08

Richard Prevette   February 4th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Once - OK a real person, a touch of humanity. But twice? Maybe contrived?

AD   February 4th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Come on, this is getting outrageous. Everytime she is losing she cries?? When will people wake up and see how fake she is. Is she going to cry every time in the Oval Office? We need a leader who is honest, not fake, and can keep his emotions in check.

AD

Jessica   February 4th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Clinton is so fake.

Sam   February 4th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Oh great. Here we go again.
Her first tear-up incident was belivable…until she slipped in a stab at Barack Obama in the middle of it.
Now, she does it again…the DAY BEFORE SUPER TUESDAY.
She cries about her campaign…while some families in this country are torn in half because they have loved ones in warzones.

Tyrone   February 4th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

She is really a trooper - teared up again. I hope the population can see through the mist and recognize it's all part of the grand plan. I wonder if she loses momentum after Super Tuesday whether or not Bill will come to her rescue again with his hatchet.

Boooo Hoooo   February 4th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

They worked before, claim her team, and it looks like Hiallary has brought the tears out again…for one final attempt to stop the Obama wave that is destroying her and Slick Willy's chance to get back to the White House.

"Boo Hooo, vote for me, I am a lady in emotioanl dsitress booo hoooo"

Alison   February 4th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Hillary 2008!!! You are human just like the rest of us. Even Bush gets choked up … and no one judges him for it.

j williamson   February 4th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Good Lord, are you media folks going to make it front page news every time Hillary tears-up? It seems human to me - and sexist from your end of things.

Bein Careful   February 4th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Everybody already knows this vile woman can cry on cue. Tell us something about her propensity for lying when necessary. She loses NH without her little crying episode and now she is trying again because she is behind again. She will never win. Her and her husband need to exit stage door left.

Samantha Lura   February 4th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

This is honestly very, very pathetic. We can't afford to have a president who cries everytime she feels the emotion. Seriously, how will it look if she starts crying at the G8 Summit??!!??

Hilary, you're only undermining your power and losing credibilty among the American voters. The presidency requires a certain level of stolidness.

Obama '08

basil   February 4th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

I'm sad to say that I am convinced that Hillary is calculating and dishonest.

The odds of her tearing up on the eve of a vote twice in less than a month must be 1000 to 1!

I would go so far as to say her visit to Yale was a part of an overriding strategy to cry and ride the backs of gullible women to victory on super Tuesday.

Even more sad, is that many many people will take her lies at face value.

Bethany, St. Louis MO   February 4th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Hillary makes me sick.

Anyone fooled by this fake display of emotion should be ashamed!

Ugh.

Ayo   February 4th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Why is Hillary pandering to the women alone? What about men? Are we not human being? In fact, I'll never vote for her …for discriminating against men

Debra   February 4th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

She seems to cry often now. Is this what we can expect as a nation when times get tough? I'd be happy to vote for a strong women I can trust but Hillary is not that person.

Here we go again. This is getting ridiculous. 1. She's faking it (again) or 2. If she can't handle a grueling campaign, how will she handle the role of a President which is far more grueling.

HA HA HA

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Do we get trite reports every time a male politician gets a little misty-eyed? I sure hope so- God knows it makes for INCREDIBLY compelling news!

You have got to be kidding me.

Oh please! Do you think anyone is going to fall for this act again? It was phony the first time and it's phony this time. Give it up Hillary.

It worked the first time, so why not try it again? She deserves an Oscar for her performances and she is bigger celebrity candidate than I previously thought.

How can anyone think these moments are not calculated? Last time she cried just in time fo rthe New Hampshire primary and she is doing the same thing just in time for "Super Tuesday". Please everyone wake up and vote for anyone but Hillary.

That's funny…Obama is catching up in the polls and she pulls the crying card again. Amazing that American's are not onto her act by now.

Just what we need. An over-emotional president that starts crying at treaty talks, peace negotiations and the like. Maybe she'll cry Osama out of hiding or have a group hug with the Israeli's and Pa
