Hillary in New Hampshire
Much has been written about Sen. Clinton’s emotional response to a question in New Hampshire last week. What do you make of it? Was it sincere, or were the tears fabricated? What was Sen. Clinton trying to communicate? Was there an alternate agenda? Did it matter how it was delivered?

Your comments should include your reaction, as well as how you would critically analyze the success of this speech act.
