Questioner who brought Hillary to tears was contacted ahead of time by campaign. A setup?

Marianne Pernold was called by Clinton's campaign ahead of time to go to the coffee shop in Ft. Smith New Hampshire (older woman-democrat). She was invited by Terry Norelli of Hillary's campaign. Questioner thinks that Hillary was sincere because the question was personal. Marianne says that immediately after the crying, Hillary resumed the political face.

"Marianne Pernold tells 630 WMAL's Chris Core she truly believes that Senator Hillary Clinton's emotional response to her question at a meeting in New Hampshire was genuine. Pernold asked Clinton how she managed to keep going during the rough campaign, and Clinton's somewhat-teary response has been credited by some pundits for her victory in the Granite state Tuesday night. Pernold tells 630 WMAL she still voted for Barack Obama, becuase she had attended one of his rallies earlier in the week, and she claims Obama's stirring speech brought HER to tears!"

A set up?
It is not anymore a set up than Hillary is a natural blond.

[Poetgal26]

Hmmmm, I guess we will never know, will we? ...if it was a setup, we can assume ...I am sticking to my guns that it is fake tears to get votes...

[weegee]

Have you checked to see if the carpet matches the drapes?

[Ditter]

Anyone who believes hillary was sincere in her tearful response just wants to believe.

A set-up? Dog bites man.

Hitlery’s camp should really pick their plants more carefully...they keep blabbing!

[1Old Pro]

Of course it was a set-up, if it weren’t I’d be shocked.

[RecallMoran]

Hillary would never let real tears fall in public. They would burn through metal and smell of sulfur.

[Snardius]

I’m sure Iran’s leaders and Osama were moved by her tears...

[Eagle Eye]

Pretty safe to assume that hillary already knew she’d win so she could set it up to appear to be a comeback win.

A real loss wouldn’t generate a teary response; it would generate a bloody one!

Well, to be fair, Obama's speeches bring me to tears, too. But I suspect it's not for the same reason as Pernold.

[MaestroLC]

Of course it was a set-up. The Clintons are con artists, and we were suckers. I won’t be fooled again by them. They need to be defeated.

Her softer side ...

Only her hairdresser knows.... Oh, and Huma Abedin.

This alledged “plant” probably brought the onion and handkerchief!

I think it was a set up as well, but inviting someone to go to a coffee shop is not evidence of a set up. We need to do better than that.
