This is the Easy Part

If she thinks the rigors of campaigning is difficult

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — In perhaps her most public display of emotion of the presidential campaign, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s eyes welled with tears, and her voice cracked dramatically on Monday, as she talked about holding up under the rigors of the race and her belief that she is the best candidate for the Democratic nomination.
And she is so tired.
In talking to the women today, Mrs. Clinton mentioned that “as tired as I am, and I am,” she was trying to exercise and eat right and get some sleep when she could. And, about her hair, she said, “luckily on special days you do have help. If you look on some of the Web sites and listen to some of the commentators, they usually catch me when I don’t have help.”
What is she going to do when the difficulties are real? Take a look at the the last three Presidents and tell me it is an easy job. When a president is done they leave office looking like pounded dog crap. If coming in third and getting sniped at by those who disagree with you is such a strain, then she needs to quit now.

If this isn't a made for media moment, then Senator Clinton just showed she doesn't have what it takes to be the leader of the sole remaining superpower. Campaigning is the easy part compared to what is to come, so cracking now would be a big clue she couldn't handle it. Then again, it all could be a way to show she is human and tender instead of a ruthless and conniving politician. My pick, this moment is as fake as Pamela Anderson's chest.
