Going into the New Hampshire primary, Hillary Clinton implored voters to keep a level head and not get carried away with a passing crush. Unable to match Barack Obama's inspiring oratory, she sniped, "You campaign in poetry, but you govern in prose."
But after winning, she was all gooey sentiment: "I felt like we all spoke from our hearts, and I'm so gratified you responded."
Head, heart — what does it matter, as long as she wins? If it took a show of tears to elicit sympathy from New Hampshirites, Sister Frigidaire (as she was known in her youth) was prepared to engineer a melting thaw. And it worked. The only thing sufficient to summon a wave of emotion, though, was the prospect of losing.
The Clintons often manufacture shows of feeling — remember when Bill, caught smiling after the death of Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, feigned tears when he noticed a TV camera? Or when Hillary, after coming in third in Iowa, gave a victory speech sporting an eerily immovable smile? But they're always completely sincere in their self-pity or anger, both of which were on display after the Iowa debacle.

People are so easily duped. Voter fraud in N.H.? Me thinks so! So transparent? Yes. This a soap opera. Everything is scripted. Hiltlery and Osama Obama are running together. Mark my words.
It appears that a host of Democrats are really pee-ohd over the voting discrepancies in NH. The Federal Elections Commission is non-functioning (a Democrat conspiracy?) so who do they turn to?
There's no ? about it... The Dems refused the slate offered by the GOP for this "non-partisan" commission, so it is out of business for this election year... How conveeeeeenient, given that Hillary is the probable nominee and the one most likely to face campaign finance violations and issues (just ask dfu).
She is so good! Words just fly out of her a—.
The tears took the attention away from Obama and put her on every news show internationally. These people know the game.
Yep, it was their strategy.
