That was the most appealing moment Hillary ever showed me. Her words and the modulation of her voice were things I wished she had done a long time ago.
M_David:
Don't forget the petty liberals like me who mock Hillary's "accomplishments," too ;-P
BTW, how are you going to find any more dirt on Obama than he's ALREADY ADMITTED in his books?
Conservatives, myself included, have been unfair to Sen. Clinton in some instances in the past. However, it's intriguing to me that she's pretty much received a pass from the national media on her New Hampshire meltdown. Contrast that with Sen. Muskie's tears in 1972, which prompted editorial pages across the country to question his fitness to govern. The Clintons, it seems, have a media mojo working.
As an aside, Muskie had a longer --and more distinguished record -- of public service and bipartisanship than Sen. Clinton.
And neither Paul nor I mentioned that the "Canuck Letter" in the Manchester Union-Leader, which helped prompt Muskie's emotional outburst, was subsequently revealed to be -- part of the Nixon "dirty tricks" campaign that later evolved into Watergate.
Great point, Larry. What's of great concern to me is that there are similar tricks apparently going on in 2008, e.g. the Christmas card from the "Romney Family". I am not a supporter of Gov. Romney, but this kind of stuff undermines the process.
