Yesterday morning, at a café in Portsmouth with 16 undecided, mostly female, voters, Clinton took a softball question and scored at least one new voter. She was asked, ``How do you keep so upbeat and wonderful?'' Clinton first went into robo-call mode, then joked about how hard it is not to be caught on a bad hair day, and then got tears in her eyes.
The election wasn't a ``game'' but very ``personal,'' and she couldn't keep at it if she ``didn't passionately believe'' it was the right thing to do for our kids' futures. ``It's really about all of us together.''
One woman who'd been leaning toward Obama before Clinton got misty eyed, said her emotion ``was the clincher.'' She's back with Clinton.
It occasionally works with speeding tickets. Her wet eyes made headlines with less than 24 hours to go before the polls open. You can hear Penn writing up one of his micromanaging memos, this one titled ``Cry Me a River'' all the way to Feb. 5.
