Have to disagree Shawn1066
No man running for President of the United States would ever be able to be elected if he was caught crying out on the stump or even behind the scenes. More so the press would have a field day reporting and reporting and reporting and reporting it, over and over and over and over again for days and days and days and, until, like Muskie, they went away.
I think her showing emotion is actually being downplayed exactly because she is a woman. If that happened to Obama or Edwards they would be beyond toast at the moment.
The American people do not want a President, man or woman, who cries under pressure while campaigning. If they crack in campaign mode, how can the be expected to hold their composure in the actual office of The President and carry out its duties??? As stress levels go.... campaigning is about 500x less stressful than actually being POTUS.
It depends on the timing... I do tend to agree with what you're saying, don't get me wrong. I think, and I could be proven entirely wrong in a month or so, but she may very much be toast. Unless something derails the Obama snowball. Perhaps it won't effect her just because of her gender, and I hope it won't... It's just my gut reaction to think it will.
That being said, I'm still happy her campaign is self-destructing. It makes the democratic side of things a lot more exciting to watch. Lets just see if Obama can keep moving now that he's the party front runner.
