A rare moment for Candidate Clinton. If they could bottle this, she might be easier to sell to some voters.
Clinton chokes up with emotion, as her eyes mist up
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. – One does not see Hillary Clinton’s eyes get misty in public very often, so there was an instant buzz in the room when she got choked up today in a café here. The moment, which certainly appeared unscripted, happened near [...]
If that doesn’t work, Carl has some further suggestions. Folks, here’s today’s “Must Read” from the trenches.
Dear Senator, Look, I’m just a shlub with a blog, but I’ve been watching elections in America for almost fifty years and have been a Democratic as long. My first stint as a campaign volunteer was in fifth grade during the Humphrey-Nixon election of 1968, standing on a street corner with a lemonade stand, not easy to do when you’re in New York City.
