Hillary Clinton set to star in remake of The Crying Game.
Reading tonight’s news headlines, I was reminded of the memorable Tom Hanks scene from “A League of Their Own,” where Hanks yells at one of his female baseball players, “There’s no crying in baseball!”
Where is Hanks now that we need him again? We need him to inform Hillary Clinton that there’s no crying in presidential campaigning. She’s at it again—for the third time in as many weeks. Crying for the crowd and of course, the cameras.
The Associated Press is reporting that Clinton wiped her eye as she listened to a disabled U.S. veteran tell his story during a campaign stop in Lewiston, Maine on Saturday.
Clinton has either begun to collapse under the stress of her current campaign marathon or she has apparently decided her new-found crying on command routine might garner her some much-needed support and sympathy.
If she’s not careful, she’s going to lose her crown as the ice princess, not to mention any chance she had at winning the election in November. For many Americans that would not exactly be a crying shame.

According to the demographics, I should be voting for Hillary Clinton: I’m a white, 60-year-old, highly educated woman from the Northeast. But I’m voting for Obama. I’ve waited all my life for a viable woman candidate for the presidency, but this is not the right woman. I want a woman of the highest ability and virtue, who would serve as a glorious role model to all young women. Hillary Clinton is not that woman.
She rode into power with her husband, and together they’ve acquired a long and seriously flawed history of self-serving and secretive financial and political dealings. The most cursory research will prove that true. She started out her political life supporting the racist Barry Goldwater. She is as comfortable with deception and trickery as George Bush. When I hear woman saying, “Oh, but that’s how you get things done in Washington,” I literally cringe.
I am passionately supporting Barack Obama. He can beat the Republicans; she cannot. Obama has attracted Independents and even Republicans to his camp, and in a general election they would vote for him, but not for Clinton. Clinton voted for the war, and has never apologized for it. Obama has spoken out against it from the beginning. Obama brings us hope–and not just that. Take a serious look at his ideas and experience.
Please, I beg of you, Sisters young and old: wait for the right woman. Then we can be proud.

Solis Doyle, is dispensable, she has served her purpose to help us win the latino vote in the big states. We no longer need her or the latino vote to capture the white house. The women vote will now carry the Hillary campaign the rest of the way. Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton replaced campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle with longtime aide Maggie Williams on Sunday. Ms. Clinton believes Maggie Williams is a better choice to target the women vote. Clinton said in a statement. “I am lucky to have Maggie on board and I know she will lead our campaign with great skill towards the nomination.”
