Democratic presidential hopeful and New York Senator Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton came close to tears during a campaign stop in New Hampshire as new polls showed her trailing Barack Obama on the eve of the crucial state primary.
At a coffee shop in Portsmouth, Mrs Clinton became emotional when asked by a woman voter: "How do you keep upbeat and so wonderful?"
After beginning her answer, her voice began to break and tears filled her eyes. "You know, this is very personal for me. It's not just political it's not just public. Some people think elections are a game, lot's of who's up or who's down, [but] it's about our country."
Polls show Mr Obama is set to claim another emphatic victory in New Hampshire's Democratic primary tomorrow following his success in Iowa last week. He told ecstatic supporters at another packed rally: "You're the wave and I'm riding it." Later, he told a TV interview: "We obviously started something, now we've got to finish it."

Can emotional people become good leaders?
yes, they sure can, as long as they know how to keep their emotions in check. it's great to have the ability to empathize with others around you. that will make you a good leader as people will feel connected to you but keeping the emotions in check when u r in office or with public is important too.
Are women more emotional? Is this the reason for finding less woman leaders?
yes, generally, women are more emotional. that's the way we are wired and then the society and its gender based expectations also has an effect.
No, I don't think this is the reason for finding less woman leaders. Why don't we see as many female politicians as male could be another debate😊
or
Is being emotional is a postive quality.
like i said, if you know how to keep'em in check and can use your judgement when to let others see your tears and when not, being in touch with ur emotional side is a positive quality for everyone.
Do tears fetch votes?
depends which position u r running for and when do u decide to shed them!!! tearing up while listening to a moving battle field experience of a war veteran or visiting children's ward in a cancer hospital are more acceptable than the situation narrated above!!! i feel one can actually use tears to get more votes if they shed them wisely😉
Do you vote make a change in your vote when you see a contestant who sheds tears?(in reality and in reality TV shows)?
😆😆😆 nope. i actually detest all those rona dhona appeals on reality t.v. shows. i never vote for any one, no matter how much i like them but i do like people who just compete and try giving their best w/o al the natak mandalee. Prakriti of ASVOI Chhotey Ustaad is a perfect example😊 so are anwesha and aishwarya. i do not see their families staging dramas to beg for votes. i started detesting Aamir on srgmp after that gareebi wala av they aired to supposedly help him out!!!
