I've been critical of Hillary Clinton mainly because almost everything coming out of her mouth is so massaged and manufactured. But then she surprises:

On Crooks and Liars, says Nicole Belle:

I hesitate to post about this because I think it’s a non-story that could play negatively into a few different stereotypes, depending on your view of Hillary Clinton. I will say that I’m sure that she is at the verge of exhaustion and nerves are probably pretty frayed and this was a very honestly emotional moment for her. This campaign schedule would be brutal for anyone and I doubt very much that there are many who wouldn’t be just as, if not more, emotional. However, I do think that this is a good reminder for those eager to paint Hillary Clinton as this tough-as-nails political automaton that there is a real person with all the same real vulnerabilities there.

Is this weakness? Or is this the Hillary Clinton we should be seeing in this campaign? Because so far this first woman with a real chance at winning the White House has been pretty passionless and focus-grouped.
