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

It was a set-up.

It worked in NH.

It will be part of her undoing, long term.

[adorno]

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!"

Whether Hillary was sincere or not with her tears or whether this lady was brought to tears by Obama, that's not the way to decide on how to cast your vote.

What about their stance on the issues and what about experience? What about their history in politics and government and out of government? That is what matters. It is so stupid for people to decide on who to vote for when it comes to the most powerful position in the world by simply voting for the person that stirs their emotions. It is both stupid and dumb.

Most 10 year old girls practice this PHONY tearful display for daddy with good results.

[CaliGirl-R]

That’s cute. Thanks for my first laugh of the day!

I wish I knew how to post pictures, just go back and look at the pictures of Hillary when she first became 1st lady or when she and Bill first met.
Her hair was brown, just as the daughters hair used to be brown.

Another POSED question by Herself, the Cold and Joyless?

Is this going to be the paradigm for the rest of Herself’s campaign?

Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff, a 19-year-old sophomore at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, said a staffer told her what to ask at a campaign event for Sen. Hillary Clinton. Afterwards, this young student concluded that giving anyone specific questions to ask is “dishonest,” and the whole incident has given her a negative outlook on politics.

The particular question was about energy and the environment, and was supposed to sound like something “plausible” that a college student would ask.

A pattern is definitely established.

A setup?

Is the Pope Catholic?

[stuartcr]

Since she won, it really doesn’t matter, does it?

[SoldierDad]

Great. Just what the WNBA needs. Bill hanging around courtside looking for fresh meat.

[Bob Buchholz]

Grammy...Oscar...I knew it was some leftist award.

[maggief]

Why is Bill Clinton hugging a chair?

[Poser]

I got invited to 50 political events this season. Does that make me a plant?

This is BS conspiracy stuff. Hillary won because the independents voted for McCain. They believed the MSM that Obama was a shoe-in to win by double digits.

The independents always screw up the primaries here. Just take a look at the candidates that have won over the years. New Hampshire is not now, nor has it ever been a good indicator of what will happen in the rest of the primaries. It isn’t too bad as an indicator of the general election.

Henry Cabot Lodge won NH
Paul Tsongas won NH
Pat Buchanan won NH
Eugene McCarthy won NH on a write-in campaign
Estes Kefauver won NH
John McCain won NH (twice now)

Talk about crocodile tears:

They only do it because it works so well. :=)

[tcrlaf]

It wasn’t the “tears” it was the media’s 24/7 RUNNING with the tears...

CNN ran it EVERY 30 minutes, ALL NIGHT LONG.
It was like they were running a 14 hour Hillarython.

The lib media needed a horse-race to drive ratings. They got it...

[SlayerOfBunnies]

Ok - that was disgusting.

[Sacajaweau]

Okay, she can cry. What's it all amount to?? Absolutely nothing. Can you cry is now an issue??Friggin' setup...just like the phony polls...and the media expounding on Hillary's defeat in Iowa.

Good job Mr. Russert...Maybe even better than the cr** you pulled in Florida.

[purpleraine]

The problem is that most of us have our minds made up. 48 or 49% will never vote for her. There are dems who will vote for here even if she kills a dog on national TV. I hope the “undecideds” and independents are picky up on these regular reports of her phoniness.

[RecallMoran]

I was disappointed that Marianne didn't admit that they had fed her the question. What I did think was interesting was when Chris asked her who she voted for her response was, " It's all over the news that I voted for Obama." Hmmmm... Looks less like she was hand picked if she says she voted for Obama. However, I feel that my cynicism is dragging me into “a vast left-wing conspiracy” world and I don’t like the company.

[MomwithHope]

No kidding - she looks like a walking sofa in that suit.
