Voter who made Clinton teary picked Obama
(CNN) – Many political observers are crediting Democrat Hillary Clinton's surprise win in New Hampshire to the New York senator's rare display of emotion at a Portsmouth Coffee shop Monday morning.

But Clinton's tearful moment failed to win at least one Granite State voter — the very woman who prompted her response in the first place.

Marianne Pernold-Young told CNN Wednesday she ultimately picked Barack Obama in Tuesday night's primary because of the Illinois senator's performance at a recent rally she attended.

"I was moved to tears. Not once, but twice," she said. "And he has this enormous electricity. And I was just taken aback. And I just had to go with my feelings."

1. Not a good idea to use your feelings to choose the POTUS however

2. Further proof that it wasn't the display of emotion as the MSM display of ferocity

3. I guess she expected Hillary to be teary eyed the rest of the Q&A session
Common sense would tell her that most people would want to straighten themselves up after a brief moment of emotional strain.

Some people are idiots.

4. ABC confirmed why HRC won: Examples. For the last week
the Republican-controlled news media has been doing everything they can to stop Hillary from being president.

Nobody Likes Hillary
Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton
Hillary in Meltdown as Panic Grips Staff
Talk of Clinton Dropping Out
Hillary Braced for a Second Defeat
Drudge: Hillary Preparing to Drop Out

No one even mentioned the possibility that Hillary might win.100% of them got it wrong! But in spite of all that slanted reporting the people of New Hampshire who live in the real world voted to give the night to Hillary. New Hampshire, like America, likes Hillary!

Last, Hillary not only defeated Obama, she defeated the news media. Even though they were kicking her when she was down, Hillary has shown that she has the strength to win.YOU ALL SAID YOU WANTED A FIGHTER...WELL, WE HAVE SAID SHE WILL FIGHT....

What I loved best was after Iowa, watching the pundits talk about the polls and how far Hillary was behind and them basically calling her campaign "dead in the water" without actually saying it. Then I sat up Tuesday night and watched the returns, and laughed my ass off as they tried to hide their puzzled expressions at her lead which never evaporated

6. I don't know what it is about the Clintons but they just won't die...
That's why they are so hated. The dirty tricks just don't work on them, in fact, the dirty tricks give them strength.

5. Interesting
Seems that while Hillary tears up, Barack is able to move people to tears with his speeches. An inspiring figure, as Edwards is as well.
