It looks like Hillary Clinton is losing it. She freaked out when asked about the rigors of campaigning. Not good. We don’t need an emotional wreck to serve as our next President. Not in these troubled times.
“Some compared her emotional display — brought on by a friendly question about the rigors of campaigning — to the career-killing moment in 1972 when presidential hopeful Edmund S. Muskie supposedly wept after a newspaper editorial attacked his wife. (To this day, some assert those were merely New Hampshire snowflakes melting on Muskie’s face.),” according to the L.A. Times.
You can see Hillary choking up at this link.
Here are a few more excerpts from the Times:
The latest surveys showed Sen. Obama of Illinois enjoying a surge of support after his victory in Thursday’s Iowa caucuses, with Sen. Clinton of New York trailing well behind and former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson even further back.
On the Republican side, Sen. John McCain of Arizona and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney were locked in a close contest. Former Arkansas Gov. Huckabee — the GOP winner in Iowa — was far behind, bunched with ex-New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas.
“I don’t think there is any question that there is a lot of nervousness about where this is all headed,” said Leon E. Panetta, a Clinton donor who served as her husband’s White House chief of staff.
On Monday, Romney was looking past Clinton, yet another sign of her diminished stature. He argued that McCain, who has served 20 years in the Senate, was too weak to face Obama, a first-term senator, in the general election.
“There is no way that our party would be successful in the fall if we put forward a long-serving senator to stand up against Barack Obama’s message of change,” Romney told reporters in Stratham, at the corporate headquarters of the Timberland shoe company.
Wow! It looks like Romney is an Obama fan. Probably just as well. I don’t see Romney winning in New Hampshire. At least I hope he doesn’t. After he loses he can keep cheering for Obama. If Romney does lose, his campaign might be finished. I wonder which Republican he will endorse? Not John McCain!
When will Hillary pull out? That will be a day of celebration in my household.
Art, time for confession. You just hate white people. What are you, a brown panther? I mean really, when was the last white man or woman you liked?
ok, I just saw the video, where did she “Lose it”?

You’re over exaggerating.
I find it pathetic that someone who can’t even step up and take Carlos on would criticize someone with the courage to run for the highest office in the land.
Get some perspective.
In 1971 I was a marine Lt. in Quang Nam province and led a patrol where we caught an NVA squad taking a noonday nap. I lost no marines and was happy about that … but after we carried the dead young Viets out of the bush and laid ’em on the roadside for evac, I cried like a baby thinking about their parents and the waste of it all. But we went out again each day, fought and never lost. Regarding Hillary, I wouldn’t trust any leader who couldn’t cry.
