The American press is dubbing her the "Comeback Kid" as a result of Hilary Clinton's "win" in the New Hampshire primary. For a foreigner the whole hoopla surrounding the lead up to an election not until next November is somewhat bizarre. Be that as it may, Hilary Clinton attracts many detractors and the process roles towards election-day roles on with all that entails.
AlterNet reproduces a piece from the Columbia Journalism Review "Hillary's Gender Is a Bigger Deal Than We'd Like to Admit" which puts an interesting slant on the primary, Hilary the person and her gender:
"In less than twenty-four hours, it got so much attention that it ceased to need an explanation. ABC News is now calling it, simply, 'The Moment.' In caps.
Yep -- that (slightly) choked-up voice, those (slightly) misty eyes: Hillary Clinton's Shocking Display of Emotion. The 'tears heard round the world,' or whatever you want to call them. Those tears didn't fall -- Clinton didn't cry, as some suggested -- but it hardly matters. CJR's Paul McCleary predicted that the Display would get a lot of play in yesterday's Primary Eve news cycle, and he was right. Within a few hours, we were treated to the following breaking news stories:
"Hillary Tears Up On The Campaign Trail" (Wall Street Journal)
"Clinton Shows Emotion in Final Hours" (Boston Globe)
"An Emotional Clinton vows to Fight On" (Reuters)
"Emotional Clinton says, This is personal" (AP)
"Clinton Finds Emotion on the Trail" (CBS News.com)
"An Emotional Clinton Reflects on How She Does It" (The Trail)
"Clinton chokes up with emotion, as her eyes mist" (The Swamp)
"Clinton gets emotional, then tears into frontrunner" (Chicago Tribune)
"Clinton is teary-eyed, emotional in speech" (Dallas Morning News)
"Question draws out a usually guarded Clinton" (LA Times)
"A Chink in the Steely Façade of Hillary Clinton" (Washington Post)
"Clinton Emotional" (Huffington Post)"
