62. The tears meant: Bwaaaa! I'm not getting what I'm ENTITLED to!
Whether the emotion was real or not, her words were utterly phony and a complete turn off. She said basically that she sees what's going on -- yeah right, now that you're losing. If she sees what's going on, she should have been calling out this illegal regime for years, rather than doing double talk, marking time while the "inevitable" unfolded.

And she said some guy drove from NY to NH to thank her for saving jobs in New York? WTF?!?! How does a US senator "save jobs" in New York?

Maybe her choking up was real. But I suspect it wasn't because she cares soooo muuuch, but because of her disappointment that the deal she's had with Bill since 1992 -- that she would help him and stand by him no matter what the Clenis did, and she would get her turn to be president -- isn't going to work out.

She's not inevitable.

This last week I've been wondering what the hell were the Clintons thinking in coming up with a campaign plan that stressed her (1) raising more money than anyone, (2) intimidating other politicians into endorsing her with their machine and (3) thereby proclaiming herself inevitable?

Does anyone really want to vote for someone because they have no choice? I remember as soon as she announced, DUers were wondering, why are they ramming Hillary down our throats? DU turned out to be prophetic.

It was a catastrophically dumb campaign coming from two otherwise politically saavy people.
