I'm not a Hillary fan, but if this was staged, it was pulled off remarkably. That said, I don't think it was staged. And I think it takes a lot of irrational hatred of Clinton to think it was.

That said, I don’t think it was staged. And I think it takes a lot of irrational hatred of Clinton to think it was.

And on the eve of the New Hampshire primary. Of all the times to "crack," why now? And in her case, showing emotion is actually seen as an asset for her -- the ice queen candidate who never shows any vulnerability. This was a calculated decision to remake her image in the throes of a faltering campaign. In light of this, I am suspicious of the authenticity of such "emotion." What also bugs me is the type of question asked of her in order to elicit her answer. <b>"How do you do it?"</b> Now THAT'S gotta be a plant if there ever was one!
