The woman whose question caused Hillary to nearly cry voted for Obama.

[calteacherguy]

In a TV interview yesterday, Mr Obama suggested his New Hampshire defeat may help his campaign because in recent days he had felt in danger of being “anointed”. His own capacity to emote should never be underestimated. In a footnote to the Coffee Shop Moment, Marianne Pernold Young, the woman whose personal question caused Mrs Clinton to cry, came forward yesterday to say that she had voted for Mr Obama. Why? Because he had reduced her to tears at one of his rallies, she said.

1. So, it's "nearly cry" now?

What happened to "made Hillary cry" or "emotional breakdown" or all those other silly terms the media was throwing around?

Pretty soon it'll be "the woman who caused Hillary to respond."

2. The article says cry, but I think she nearly cried. nt

5. Personally, I like Jon Stewart's reaction.

4. at the time of her meeting with Hillary

she professed to being "smitten" with Obama -- but found Hillary refreshingly sincere (or something like that)--, so her vote isn't all that surprising

6. Good for her, asshole all around.

14. Marianne Pernold

was helping Democrats get elected when you were still crapping your Pampers. Earn your stripes before you start pissing on people you don't know.

7. Can anyone show if she even voted? And why should I believe her?

[magatte]

12. Yeah she didn't bother to vote...

Just showed up to Hillary event, but never really bothered to vote.

8. She's attacked for being too reserved, she's attacked for being too emotional, she's attacked for...

existing, basically.

[calteacherguy]

9. Not an attack, I just thought it was an interesting story. nt

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

11. No.

She's attacked at being reserved and emotional for all the wrong reasons.

1.2 million dead in Iraq? Meh.

Campaign's in trouble! Boo hoo, it's hard work!

[Muttocracy]

13. exactly. it's personal = it's all about my ambitions

When John Edwards said "it's personal" he was talking about his family working hard, right?

Personal for Clinton = I want payback for the past, it's my turn, my ambitions...

10. I bet that woman wishes she had her question back.
