Tears on the Campaign Trail 

Filed Monday, January 7, 2008 at 12:00 PM

As you may have heard, Hillary Clinton “had a moment” at a campaign event today.

It was Tom Hanks (in “A League of Their Own”) who said, “There’s no crying in baseball.” Is the same true for presidential primaries?

In response to Clinton’s display of emotion, rival John Edwards had this to say:

“I think what we need in a commander-in-chief is strength and resolve, and presidential campaigns are tough business, but being president of the United States is also tough business,” Edwards told reporters Laconia, New Hampshire.

What do you think about Clinton’s tears? Is this even worth the attention it’s gotten?
