HuffPo: "Woman Who Made Clinton Cry Voted For Obama"

[Renew Deal]

The woman whose empathetic question -- "how do you do it?" -- sparked uncharacteristic emotion Monday from Sen. Hillary Clinton ended up voting for Sen. Barack Obama in the New Hampshire primary.

Marianne Pernold Young, 64, a freelance photographer from Portsmouth, N.H., told ABC News that while she was moved by Clinton's emotional moment, she was turned off by how quickly the New York senator regained her "political posture."

"I went to see Hillary. I was undecided and I was moved by her response to me," Pernold Young said in a telephone interview with ABC News. "We saw ten seconds of Hillary, the caring woman."

"But then when she turned away from me, I noticed that she stiffened up and took on that political posture again," she said. "And the woman that I noticed for ten seconds was gone."

2. I don't find it funny.

I don't see ANY of the men being judged this way. I do notice that I'm being told that everyone adores Obama.

I don't.

6. Then you don't have a sense of humor.

Also, more people liked Obama based on the exit polls.

3. Sounds like the same thing Olbermann brought up:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CLINTON: This is very personal for me. It‘s not just political.

It‘s not just public. I see what‘s happening. And we have to reverse it. And some people think elections are a game. They think it is like who‘s up or who‘s down. It‘s about our country. It‘s about our kids‘ futures. It‘s really about all of us together. Some of us put ourselves out there and do this against some pretty difficult odds.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

OLBERMANN: Sounds great, doesn‘t it, about it not being just political but also personal? Perhaps by personal, Senator Clinton meant personal attacks on her other candidates because in the very next sentence, instead of reversing it, she started to attack some rivals who sounded an awful lot like Senator Barack Obama. We rejoin the senator already in progress.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CLINTON: Against some pretty difficult odds. And we do it, each one of us, because we care about our country. Some of us are right and some of us are wrong. Some of us are ready, some of us are not. Some of us know what we will do on day one and some of us haven‘t really thought that through enough.

Right?

woman!

7. "the woman that I noticed for ten seconds was gone"

Don't worry -- she will be back. All 40 of her known personalities will be recycled over and over and over the next several months.
