Yet conversely, can you imagine if Obama or Romney teared up? There would be a hugh out-pouring of sympathy and well-wishers... ah he's showing how much he cares, what a true man! (Not that it's likely, but it just goes to show how fickle the world is!)

Excerpt
"The question from a contemporary caught the tired former front-runner off guard. She paused. The emotion gathered on her face as she worked up an answer.
A round of supportive applause from the group, consisting mostly of women, seemed to give her strength.
"This is very personal for me. It's not just political. It's not just ... I see what's happening and we have to reverse it," she said, her voice cracking. "Some people think elections are a game. They think it's like who's up, who's down. It's about our country. It's about our kids' futures. And it's really about all of us together."
Barely able to compose herself, she labored on: "You know, some of us put ourselves out there and do this against some pretty difficult odds.
"And we do it - each one of us - because we care about our country," she said.
The reaction stunned her audience - and won them over. "

Re: Keira and Poppys New Hampshire thread!
There was no outburst yesterday. There was a moment when she was asked by another woman "How do you do it"? and in her reply to the question, (which btw I found very sensitive and worthy of a presidental candidate) she cried.

Re: Keira and Poppys New Hampshire thread!
And I disagree ---- the reaction was genuine and unplanned.

McCain didn't make it last time and he isn't going to make it this time either.
I think you meant it the other way around...?

So who's gonna get the nomination for the Repugs? All the rest are too frightening to contemplate.

Re: Keira and Poppys New Hampshire thread!
McCain has had a brain fart of late. He used to be a decent guy (for one of them), then he threw his lot in with Bush, now he's made a comeback. He's a two-faced twat, though: he was one of the original sponsors of the DREAM act. On it's last voyage for a vote, he left the chamber 2 minutes before the call -- couldn't be seen voting "yes" on an "amnesty" bill. Sad really.

Well those are probably the two best Republican candidates. Personally, I'm pulling for the Rev. Hook -- best chance of ensuring Repug defeat at the presidential IMO.

Did anyone see Dubbya making his speech about the economy in Chicago yesterday? I swear someone had dropped one just before he spoke, coz he looked like he was about to burst into hysterics.. something had amused him... or does he always look like that? How can anyone take the man seriously?

Re: Keira and Poppys New Hampshire thread!
Yup. And I've been watching the extra footage that C-SPAN shows once the campaign rallies end... where they follow the candidate as he shakes hands with the crowd. He didn't want to talk about immigration to someone who asked so he point blank ignored them, then when they showed a bit of persistence, he was down right rude to them. That really opened my eyes to his character, if not his politics.
If you want character, Kucinich is your man.
