Hillary finds her voice again, tears up once more on the eve of another primary day

In a moment that will remind everyone of her emotional reaction to a question asked of her on the eve of the NH primary, La Clinton gave us another PDE (Public Display of Emotion) today while in CT:

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Γ’β‚¬β€œ Sen. Hillary Clinton teared up this morning at an event at the Yale Child Study Center, where she worked while in law school in the early 1970s.

Penn Rhodeen, who was introducing Clinton, began to choke up, leading Clinton’s eyes to fill with tears, which she wiped out of her left eye. At the time, Rhodeen was saying how proud he was that sheepskin-coat, bell-bottom-wearing young woman he met in 1972 was now running for president.

“Well, I said I would not tear up; already we’re not exactly on the path,” Clinton said with emotion after the introduction.

Clinton is holding a roundtable discussion with Connecticut women to talk about childcare and healthcare.

As there was the last time this happened, there’s a debate going on as to whether the tears were fake or genuine. I haven’t seen a video, so I can’t offer an informed opinion, but my guess is they probably were real … at least if she’s keeping up with the latest polling information which suggests that the comfortable lead she’s had in several Super Duper Tuesday states has all but evaporated.
