So This Is Really Why Hillary Cried

When the Obama camp announced they had raised $32 mil. in January alone, the Clinton camp remained strangely silent.  At the end of January, Hillary lent her campaign $5 mil. from her personal funds.  According to various articles on the net and several news reports, Hillary's campaign has been under a financial crunch since the Iowa primary. 

This information puts several things in a whole new light for me.  Hillary serving peach cobbler to reporters on the plane for one.  No wonder.  Due to a lack of funds, Mrs. Clinton is no longer traveling in a Gulf Stream, she is now riding on the press plane.  No wonder Bill was so testy in South Carolina.  He must have felt a great deal of pressure to undermine the Obama momentum.  Hillary's tears in New Hampshire were real!  Her campaign finance manager had over spent in Iowa and funds were low.  Then she lost the primary there.  Going in to NH Obama seemed to be on the brink of blowing her out of the water.  Hillary had been preparing herself for a run at the presidency probably since Bill was elected.  No wonder she cried.  She was heartbroken and disappointed.

I really don't fully understand Hillary's appeal to women. I would think feminists would be somewhat offended by her candidacy. She's running on platform of experience which is based primarily on her having been the spouse of a Governor and a president. Her husband, an ex-president has been more visible and vocal during the campaign. In some instances he was more visible and vocal than her. A president is supposed to be strong and decisive. Hillary cries when things are not going her way. It's not out of compassion for any cause or any person other than herself. When she feels cornered she sends her husband out to do her dirty work. What is there to admire in that?
