No crying in politics?

First the tears were bad. Then they were good.

With Hillary Clinton’s win last night in New Hampshire, will the race for the White House generate more tears than a Lifetime movie?

Call me a cynic, but if pollsters find out that Hillary’s tears were what truly swayed voters I bet we’ll see lots of candidates showing cracks beneath their veneers.

Will Rudy cry over his failed marriages?

Will John Edwards cry about the one time he had to get his hair cut at Great Clips?

Will John McCain cry if the Straight Talk Express stalls?
