She's crying because feels entitled to the nomination and isn't going to get it. She acts like a spoiled brat who isn't getting her way.

Hillary is showing her emotional weakness when it comes to pressure. Do we really want someone like this having to face major challenges affecting our country and our freedom??? I think not!

Can't you just see Hillary in the White House sobbing on national t.v. as terrorists strike the country again? We don't need whiny, criers defending us.

Hillary Clinton is so pathetic, and lying never stops. Hillary is noseating.

Every time Hillary opens her mouth, she swiftboats herself.

No more Clinton's in the White House please.

Good grief, how overtly obvious is it that ABC news is pro-Hillary. Every article and photo is presented in Hillary's favor while Obama's headlines present a negative effect. What ever happened to un-biased reporting?

It's over for Hillary. Aside from the fact that she actually has LESS experience as an elected offocial tyhan Obama, no one LIKES her! No one is going to vote for someone they don't even like. Remember Bob Dole? Remember Mike Dukakis? No one liked them! Obama, also, knows what poverty is, knows what suffering and hopelessness are! I'm voting for Obama!

You think running for President is hard, try running the country.

Hillary has just proved that she is not qualified to be our next leader. Buh-bye, loser.

I'm not laughing with you. I'm laughing at you.

No one is truly impressed with the angry, self-pitying tears of a self-righteous, self-entitled elitist. This young Democrat, like a growing number of Americans, have a message for the Clintons and their sad, manipulated 'legacy': It's over. The 1960's and 1990's are done, and so are you.

Is this really objective reporting? Why does Kate Snow make judgements on the other people at the table being "bored"? And WHO CARES if Hillary cried, anyway? Don't you think running for office is stressful? This kind of nonobjective drivel really is alarming and not up to ABC standards.

Posted by: Anna M | Jan 7, 2008 12:48:37 PM

I think she is crying because she realizes she is not being taken seriously right now. I mean, how must she feel that someone asked her who does her hair? How did her message collapse to this?

A tactic straight from the Clinton "War Room" no doubt. Just one more reason she cannot be President. This has gone on long enough... she should step down. ABC and the lib media are trying hard to prop her up and help the Dems. Even actively campaigning against Romney - unbelievable. That is why ABC failed to bring up illegal immigration during the Dem debates. The lib media is desperatly trying to steer the elections.

I wish all three Democratic candidates and Joe Biden too could be president. Clearly they are ALL stellar. There is no doubt Senator Clinton is genius and would be wonderful. It's the passion behind the ideas I wonder about. I am ABSORBED with a Democrat finally getting into the oval office and HOPING maybe beyond hope that they even more securely retain the Congress and to at least TRY to turn over the HORRIFIC Republican agenda that has put out country so at risk. I am scared but good but the Republican way is a colossal failure. They do NOT care about the average American whether it's north, south, east or west. To think they do is utter folly. We need prescient Democratic leadership and then some!

"Clinton ... got emotional, her voice breaking and with tears in her eyes, she spoke about how she is passionate about this election and passionate about the country."

I think I'm going to hurl - the Clinton's are about ONE thing - power and promoting the Clinton's. Good "intentions" are NOT enough. When it's all said and done - the empress (and emperor) have no clothes. They should both move to one of the "stans" and live out their Communist dreams there.

WoW... Mrs. Clinton ... what experience; Arkansas ... sitting in the white hous trying to be a Co-President... did she have security clearance. The rest should ask the question... Where's the meat she says she has. not even the Kennedy's mad teh dynasty factor... lets all deny this dysfunctional family that title.

Please. Now that I know Cafe Espresso let that witch eat there, I will never go there again. To think she was so close to my house makes me ill. I love it when she is losing how she pulls out the gender bashing card (they dont like me because I am a "woman") or cries. What I find amusing, literally, is that you can tell that she thought she was just going to "breeze" through the process and automatically win tjhe nomination! Not so huh Hil?

Enough with the Clintons - get these corrupt sociopaths out of here already.

Those are the tears of corporatists, who feel the coming populist revolution. The days of the DINO are over. Good riddance, Hillary.

Hillary's emotional switch has two settings: heartless ##### and sniviling crybaby. We don't need either anywhere near the White House.

When all else fails, bring on the tears. Pleeeeeese!!!!!

Rommney said it best yesterday- you can't have change simply by moving the same old people around in different chairs. Washington's broke- we need fresh ideas and people we can trust. Obama is the Democrat party's best candidate.

You haven't seen tears until you see someone like Hillary or Obama get elected...

Obama may be an articulate speaker, but so was Hitler.

Don't be fooled by how he says what he says. LISTEN to WHAT he says -- he's no better than Hillary.

I'd vote for Satan before I'd vote for either of them.

Actually, my vote as it stands right now is write-in: NONE OF THE ABOVE.

the MAINSCREAM media hates a landslide and is doing all they can to avoid one. DEAR VOTERS...let us have a landslide so we can watch the MAINSCREAMS cry...

Have her get in touch with Pat Schroeder.

Better for her to cry than for the rest of America to cry if she got elected.

She is a socialist and would take this Country down with increased taxes, soft on terrorism (as was Bill), big government spending, etc.

America is looking for a fresh start...not a re-hash of the 8 years we had with the Clinton's before. She is devisive and would not work with both sides of the isle.

I have met Hillary Clinton two times and believe me, she is honest, intelligent and forthright. This country made a mistake voting for someone they "like" or want to have a beer with. Please do not make another mistake by voting for the wrong president. The world can not afford it. Hillary is by far the best choice of all. Don't listen to what the pundants and other teams want you to hear and believe. She is the brightest and the best.

Boo-whoo!! Please go to the nearest mechanics workshop and ask them to weld you a back-bone. Desperate times call for desperate tears!! Hillary you are finished, please face the facts!!

As a Barack Obama supporter, I'd say this could just be a ploy to get people to vote for her. Perhaps Clinton is simply exhausted from campaigning. Maybe she even is THAT passionate about the country. But as a person who got a degree in women's studies, I find it offensive that anyone would say that Hilary was crying because she is a woman. I'd love for a woman to be the president. Just because we menstruate doesn't mean that we're more or less emotional than men. Anyone who says that is just foolish. Ignorant statements like that are the reason women were suppressed for so long. Is Hilary being honest? I have no idea, but making it seem as though men in politics have never cried, and furthermore, accepting the idea that crying is a sign of weakness, is one of the reasons that our society is the way it is.

Who didnt see this coming? She played the victim to win her senate seat. It's all she has.

A large number of undecided, open-minded voters took a fair, close and careful look at this woman over an extended time. And walked away. Look at your own comments for the roots of this turn of the tide. And for the genius of the designers of the political system that, more often than not, leaves candidates like Hillary Clinton (and Ron Paul, and Fred Thompson) wondering what happened.

Tears are not a sign of weakness, they are a sign of passion and committment.

However, Mr. Obama's stuttering and stammering indicates a mind not thoroughly rehearsed in where it stands on the issues. There is a very obvious disconnect between what he believes and what he is "coached" to say. He lacks believability based on his inability to construct a complete sentence. Something is not ringing true here.

Hillary has my vote. Mr. Obama would not even be a close enough second to be her vice-president. Bill Richardson would make an excellent running mate.

Hillary's exit strategy:

Having meticulously planned their coveted return to the White House for several years now, the Clintons will certainly not exit the scene with grace or dignity. This is the political duo that honed "The Politics Of Personal Destruction" into an artform; and, most certainly will not tolerate, who is in their mind, the "upstart Obama" to derail Hillary's pre-choreographed coronation.

Barrack and his supporters best be prepared for the "Political Lynching" that will rival anything previously witnessed in Presidential politics.

Slick and Hill have repeatedly demonstrated a vicious demeanor that is unprecedented whenever their political dynasty has been threatened in the past. Just ask anyone of their innumerable victims.
