"ABC News' Kate Snow Reports: Campaigning in New Hampshire one day before the first-in-the-nation primary, Senator Hillary Clinton got emotional and had tears in her eyes as she spoke with voters about how hard it is to balance a busy campaign life and her passion for the country's future.
The Senator from New York was sitting at a big table in Cafe Espresso in Portsmouth, New Hampshire with 16 undecided voters, mostly women, warmly and calmly taking questions.
Then she took an unexpected question from a woman standing in the back.
"My question is very personal, how do you do it?" asked Marianne Pernold Young, a freelance photographer from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. She mentioned Clinton's hair and appearance always looking perfectly coifed. "How do you, how do you keep upbeat and so wonderful?"
Clinton began responding, jokingly. First talking about her hair: "You know, I think, well luckily, on special days I do have help. If you see me every day and if you look on some of the websites and listen to some of the commentators they always find me on the day I didn't have help. It's not easy."
But then, Clinton began getting emotional: "It's not easy, and I couldn't do it if I didn't passionately believe it was the right thing to do. You know, I have so many opportunities from this country just don't want to see us fall backwards," she said.
Her voice breaking and tears in her eyes, she said, "You know, 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."
The crowds seeking touchy-feely with RodHam have been so sparse that the Clintonesta's have had to call in friends and followers from afar to make it appear that there's actually a buzz about her being there. At one event, a custodian told reporters to look outside in the parking lot and see if they could find ONE car with NH plates, and they couldn't. Massachusetts and NY tags abound as loons heed the call to come help Hillary in her time of need.
As far as her seeing "what's happening and we have to reverse it," its got to be killing her that legislation such as the amnesty bills haven't made it through Congress, and coming to the realization that turning the nation into one big happy socialist party is going to be a lot tougher than she imagined.
Poor baby. Back against the wall, and does she fight? Nope. Like the true feminist that she is, when the going gets tough, she folds.
And how about ABC getting somewhat tough on the old bag? Maybe we can begin calling them the Anyone But Clinton network.
How cool is all this?
