PORTSMOUTH, New Hampshire (Jan. 7) - A teary-eyed Hillary Clinton pushed for support on Monday as polls showed her poised for a huge New Hampshire loss to Democratic rival Barack Obama, but the former front-runner vowed to carry on with her presidential quest even if she loses.

Obama warned supporters against overconfidence as a flood of new polls gave him a double-digit lead over Clinton one day before the state casts the next votes in the race for the White House.

At a campaign event in Portsmouth, Clinton choked up and grew uncharacteristically emotional as she talked about her reasons for seeking the presidency in the November election.

"Some of us put ourselves out there and do this," she said, her voice breaking and her eyes glistening with tears, "against some pretty difficult odds and we do it each one of us because we care about our country."



OK now, seriously, I try not to be sexist. I really do...but straight up?!?!??! LOL!!! This is just BEGGING to be commented on. Crying already? Before the 2nd major PRIMARY!??! Of all the things she could have done to lose credibility as a SERIOUS female contender for President, this has to be at the top of the list. One of the major knocks against women in general is that they are overly emotional. If one hopes to be the leader of our country, they need to be strong and confident and not show weakness. If she's crying already, over this, how are we going to expect her to fare when things are REALLY difficult? IF I were a Hillary supporter, I'd be pretty disappointed right now. Shit, if I were a woman, I'd be pretty disappointed right now. Fortunately for me, since I am neither a Hillary supporter, nor a woman, I'm just finding this side-achingly amusing. :)
