The woman who asked the question that made Hillary tear up voted for Obama.

It was reported on MSNBC about 20 minutes ago. Her name's Marianne Pernold and she said during a radio interview, "The first ten seconds of the interview were very genuine and very heartfelt and very one-on-one as a woman and then when she turned away from me she adopted that political stance again."

1. well at least we can now put to the rest

that she calculated this with a plant --right?

2. Who thought it was a plant?

The thing people think is that she USED that question to "look human," tear up and then go on to put down Obama with tears still in her eyes. Brilliant move.

4. Yep that is what I thought to

Hillary's tactic worked for now. If she tears up again, people will know its a ploy, not a genuine display from the heart.

6. I heard a person "in real life" say it, too...

THAT along with the appearance of a "pile on" in the debate brought women out to vote for her. Edwards was the one who attacked her and everyone held it against Obama.

3. And we can initiate the rumor that she was an Obama plant

It has to be one or the other, right?

5. How funny

When questioned about her role in HRC's response that got so much air time, this same woman said words to the effect of "I was undecided, but now I completely support Hillary." Somebody start a war or something so the media will stop parsing the flotsam of non-issues.

7. I thought that was just a woman at that event who was asked about how she felt...

not the woman who asked the question.
