When did crying become a political strategy?
Granted, after Iowa's blow out, Sen. Hillary Clinton had every reason to want to be dismayed. While she may have been saddened by Obama's win, her decision to tear up in a New Hampshire coffee house, in my opinion was a calculated choice. Hopefully, I'm wrong. Hopefully, it wasn't a visual image sent around the world to answer critics who say she's too stoic. Hopefully, the first serious contender to be the first woman president of the U.S would not resort to crying to feminize herself. Hopefully, one of the most powerful women in the world did not resort to the same tactics that Southern Belles and Damsels in Distress play into hoping for pity. Please prove me wrong.
She found her own voice, she said in her New Hampshire victory in a grey floral jacket, a contrast from her sharp business suits. And she said it with a softened voice, a departure from her authoritative posturing. Maybe it's the real Hillary. Or maybe she runs by any means necessary.
Time will only tell.
