I see that Hillary Rodham "teared up" today, drawing comparisions to then-top running Democrat Ed Muskie's alleged crying (it was snowing heavily at the time and Muskie was outdoors) as he responded to charges made against his wife in the Manchester Union-Leader in 1972.
She vows to fight on, which is her way. Besides, she's been running for president since the 1960s, possibly all the way back to August 4, 1961--the day Barack Obama was born.
Don't count her out just yet. The people of New Hampshire relish their "first primary in the nation" distinction, and some votes may come her way courtesy of some very self-conscious Granite Staters.
Things are much more interesting on the Republican side. There probably won't be any "settling out" until after Super Tuesday on February 5--when I get to vote in Morton Grove's 99th precinct.
Back to the USA tomorrow night.
