I think maybe the stress is starting to get to Senator Hillary Clinton. Or is it?
First we saw an angry Hillary in the debate on Saturday night, and now we have an "emotional" Hillary tearing up yesterday. At a campaign stop in a coffee shop in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Hillary was asked what sounded like a "softball" question: "As a woman, I know it's hard to get out of the house and get ready," said a woman attending the event. "Who does your hair?" Clinton's response, during which she seems to fight back tears, was shown ad nauseam on cable and network news last night. Have a look for yourself:
Most of the media portrayed it as a "genuine" moment in which the stress and fatigue of the campaign trail finally got the better of the former First Lady. Others in the press were more skeptical of the authenticity of the emotion, instead believing it was calculated and contrived as a means of humanizing and/or garnering sympathy for Clinton. (As you may recall from a previous blog entry here, this certainly wouldn't be the first time that Hillary has been questioned about her genuineness). As for yesterday's display, I'll let you be the judge.
