I know this may sounds harsh but cry again b4 another close election? Is there a pattern there?

Rasmussen:It's now Clinton 46%, Obama 40%. (see recent daily numbers). For the first time all year, Rasmussen Markets data shows that Clinton and Obama have roughly equal chances of winning the Democratic Presidential Nomination (current prices: Clinton 50.0%; Obama 46.5%

This is not a diary. The candidates must all be stressed out and exhausted, and it is moving when someone you've known for decades says nice things about you.

There are much more important things to talk about today.  I'm not slamming your diary, but I don't think focusing on this kind of thing is (1) fair to Senator Clinton; or (2) a wise strategic move by Obama.

As to the first point, there's absolutely nothing wrong with becoming a bit emotional when a former mentor praises you like that.    

has been playing in this election.

Race card...check

Black and brown divide card...check

Woman sympathy card...check

Enough.  HRC needs to get a backbone and win this election because of her merits, vision, ideas and proposals NOT because of all these "cards" she has been playing.

As a woman I am a little disappointed.

Wow...reason right out the window, this deserves a 0.

So much for the politics of "hope" and "unity".  If the media gave Obama just one week of the hostile coverage that Clinton gets, he would wilt in 2 seconds flat.  

"fucking bitch."

That deserves a big fat troll rating Aiko.

Your comments about Hillary Clinton are outrageous, and incredibly offensive to ME as a woman.

this person knew her from years ago. They said nice things, emotional things about her, it got to her a bit.

I probably would have done the same. Are candidates not allowed to show emotion or are they only allowed to show anger as an emotion?

She was happy and filled with happy emotion. Has this ever happened to any of you? If not, then you are not human.

you are a sorry excuse for a woman.

obama responds....

A lot of good actors have trouble crying on que.  I doubt whether a career of 35 years could do it.

This is another unfair double standard used to attack Clinton.  She can't be human.  If she is she is attacked for it.

this is a clever ploy designed to take attention away from the 'hillary will garnish ur wages' story.

I want to see her win more than anything! She's extremely tough. The media's been attacking her for months and getting her ready for the general--she's in great shape to take it all. I suspect, if she does strongly tomorrow, she'll get the momentum to go the rest of the way.

Good luck to Obama supporters too, I know what it is to really believe in one person and the inspiration they spark to want to champion for them.

Hillary does this for many of us, too.

I am not so sure that I would vote for Obama after seeing how he was GLADLY attacking Hillary using Rovian talking points and how he wonderfully killed democratic principles again using Republican tactics. If Obama was not sure that his supporters would vote for Hillary, Obama should be surely worried about whether he could carry Hillary supporters.

Notice that Hillary has never cried over that criminal Iraq war vote.

She has never shed a tear over the 4000 dead Americans and countless Iraqis who lost their lives because she refused to be a leader against this war and instead, decided to do the politically expedient thing.

She has never shed a tear over that. She only cries when she thinks it'll get her votes.

She's a phony!

Via 'First Read' over at MSNBC:

"Penn Rhodeen, Clinton's supervisor during her time at the center, introduced the senator, hailing her work on behalf of children. He seemed to get a little choked up as he spoke, saying she had always been and would always be a champion for children. After he spoke, Clinton joked that she had said she wouldn't tear up, but that already it wasn't looking good. Her eyes had misted up a bit, but there were no actual tears."
