cry, cry, cry

Again another image that has nothing to do what I am talking about in this post. This image was a good result considering the circumstances. It was shot at an ISO of 1600 which normally results in a lot of noise, but in this picture it doesn't bother me. The lighting was the primary difficulty in this shot so I did ask my sister and her boyfriend to not move since I was shooting at 1/45 sec. They did a nice job for me.

What can I possibly be talking about when I say cry, cry, cry? Hillary Clinton of course. She broke down today in response to a question today in NH about how she does it day after day on the campaign trail. She gave a nice reply about how personal her quest is for the presidency. She began to cry. My obvious question is was it genuine?

Again, I am going to stay neutral about what I think of Hillary and her politics. But wondering about her strategy is interesting to me. If it was planned and people think it wasn't genuine, then it will provide additional fodder for those who think she is calculating and contrived and will backfire. If it was genuine then I would guess that some will conclude that it shows her to be weak when faced with such an innocuous question. It could be made worse because she is a woman.

Either way, it is a risky thing to do. I would guess that she was crying because she really thought she was going to be President and is realizing she is becoming an also ran. This is a good thing because the Bush/Clinton oligarchy needs to come to an end.
