  up until now, Hillary has seemed a little too stiff and calculating to me...maybe she's over a hump now where she can start acting more real and less guarded - if only she were funnier. But she's not very funny. Meanwhile, Chelsea - who as a kid reminded me of Howdy Doody - has become HOT!!!!!! WOW!!!

  I think your post an excellent one.  There is one correction I might make.  It was at a dinner table. She and some women were sitting around a round table. I believe it was in a hotel.  Anyhow, in this small meeting around the table, one woman said;" how do you do all of this.  Don't you get tired?"

  On the subject of Ed Muskie, I never knew if he lost because he cried, or if someone actually might have thought he could be guilty of wife abuse, himself.  You just never know what people are thinking?  And when they don't know, all they have to do is turn on the TV, and listen to the media spin it anyway they like it.

  I have offten thought, that maybe the media plays a bigger roll in who we elect, than we might think.   ((Food For Thought!))

  A rather interesting perspective here is that many people would object to any woman as president because women are "too emotional". And many equate the showing of emotions with weakness, which is partially why women have been referred to as the weaker sex.
  
  
  Yes, people are speculating that the move was calculated.
  
  
  Yet others feel that they are finally seeing Hilary.
  
  
  I'm surprised, even today, that there wasn't more of a "backlash" against the show of emotion as being a sign of weakness.

  Me too Zayda. I haven't heard anyone except John Edwards elude to that weakness aspect. Until now, Hillary has come across as emotionless. Too bad there's a writer's strike, she should go on Saturday Night Live before the primaries are over. That would clinch it for her. Or -- maybe she can get away with hiring some of the striking comedy writers to spice up the press conferences. If she stays more human she'll suck me in...

• Zayda said on Jan 11, 2008....

  I suspect that, on some level, she hasn't come across as more human simply because of that fear of being labeled as weak for showing too much emotion.
