Wake up! She's such a fake... She wants to make history? Hopefully she will be history by the end of this campaign.
Should she manage (God help us!) to snatch the nomination, my family and I will turn Republicans.
OBAMA is our only HOPE! Billary is just another Bush. You have to be mental to vote for her!
Pick up your handkerchief and go home, Billary. And stay there! We're FED UP with your cheap ploys!

I think everybody is being unreasonably harsh on Hillary Clinton. When she wins a primary or caucus the reporters turn it into a defeat. When she is stern she is said to be heartless and when she is vulnerable she is made to be weak. I am a male that never thought he would vote for a women, but I think she is exactly what our country needs and I think that when the emotion behind Obama fades away, we are going to find a man we know nothing about, that has very little of substance to say.

Jason Peplinski, Simi Valley , US/ CA

The United States are nor prepared for a woman in Presidency. They are not mature enough. I would really like Hillary winning. She could do big things for that damaged country.

Angélica, Barcelona, Spain

I don't want a president that cries.

I think Hillary's tears are genuine. Afterall that was the school she gratuated from and i get teary eyed when I think of my college days. Why it is a crime to show emotion. The press is always complaining about how cold and distant she is and when she does show real emotion they blast her. Its a no-win situtation for Hillary. How come all the CNN stations never say anything negative about Obama, especially his drug admission in his youth. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why all the CNN stations are backibng Obama and bashing Hillary. Its their game plan. They know if he. Obama wins, there is no way he can beat McCain in the General election and we will have another 8 years of the Republicans and God help us all!! Hillary is the smartest, most experience, and most qualified and the best candidate running.

Hillary Rodham Clinton might break out into a real crying jag before this is all over. She represents the past, a return to the 1990s, a political resurrection. She supported the war in Iraq and its continuation. Her history with health care reform is a total flop. Her husband is a narcissistic windbag, a skirt chaser who doesn't like to share the spotlight. They are in bed with big business and win by dividing the country. Many of us have turned the page and want them put to pasture.

As a country we are off course and desperately need new leadership. Senator Obama offers it with humility, vision and good judgment. He represents a new political generation, a fresh way of looking at the world and America. He comes with enormous political and intellectual gifts.

Whether the Clinton machine can be stopped isn't clear, and the battle might drag on yet for some time, but many of us hope that it will not have a tearful end.

Mark Mulligan, Shepherdstown, USA West Virginia

It did the trick the last time around so why not try it again. These politicians are unbelieavable

P. Dordoe, London,

I don't want a President who tears up. Is she going to do that if Putin says something to her? Don't think for a minute that American women all want Hillary as President. She doesn't have nearly as many women supporters as the world seems to think. Both Hillary and Slick Willie can turn the emotions off and on at will. Hillary's already been President once and she didn't do a good job of it the first time around.

Julie, Jacksonville, Florida, USA

Mrs Clinton is a very calculating woman and i believe the tears is just another ploy to secure votes.

Wale, Manchester, UK

Women certainly know how to get what they want, what man can resist helping a teary eyed woman and all the women will be saying "She's so courageous, but with that human frailty that we all love so much!". Swindle your way into the White House Hilary and actual policies be damned!!!

J Roberts, Manchester, UK

Richard Bowen. Churchill cried when he saw the effects of the air raids on London. That is compassion.

I don't see Hillary crying over the thousands of dead or maimed troops that she voted to send to an illegal war for her own political gain. In fact, I don't even see her taking responsibility for that decision.

I see her crying about how much she wants to win this race, and how proud she is of her achievements. That is narcissism.

If Obama wins tonight, he will be the next president. How nice it will be to have someone elevate the country from this unfortunate, reptilian politics.

Mat Dryhurst, Berlin,

Surely the tears can only work once and second time around will surely be seen as a cynical ploy? Maybe she should try kissing babies instead.

Ian, Chelmsford, UK

McCain could beat Clinton. Many republicans would vote "against" Hillary if she were to be nominated. Obama is a different story.

Pat Melody, Aurora, Illinois

I understand that one could never compare the elections to chancelor in Germany and president in America. However, is it really neccessary for this woman to constantly be shedding tears. She is the first woman in what was previously entirely a boys club. Please tell me are tears needed to obtain more votes. A pathetic and bad marketing strategy. If in an alternative universe she was already leading by far I bet we would not see a tear.

Kristine B., hanover,

If a few obviously orchestrated tears can really sway a significant number of U.S. voters, then we're really encountering new depths of human stupidity.

Archie, Madrid, Spain

Americans in general are cryers even the men. I see nothing wrong in it but when people complain about it they should look to themselves first and see that it is true all in the US shed tears it is a national trait! Only the foolish democrats and the republicans will want Obama as the nominee as it will hand the presidency to the republicans. The Democrats seem intent on destroying their chances of the whitehouse and dooming us to another 4 years of republicanism.

doone , new orleans, La

I'm voting for Hillary! I don't know why people hate the Clintons so much. During 4 years of the 1st Bush, the economy was in a wreck, the Clintons not only cleaned up his mess, they made the US economy strong and prosper. During the Clinton years, I had 4 or 5 huge job offers(as with many of my friends), with companies offering a large amount of sign in bonuses and salary. My own company was prospering. When Clinton left the presidency and the 2nd Bush took over, that's when my company and others went downhill. People has a short memory for some reason! I guess they enjoy being in the dumps!
Also, Latinos make up a big percentage in the state of California, and the majority of them loves Clinton! I'm sure she'll get their votes on Tuesday!

Ann, Pasadena, CA/USA

I suppose it is a bit of a coincidence. She gets in trouble and she shows her sensitive side after people have been denying she has one. But why not giver the benefit of the doubt, and in any case why does it matter? Tears are contagious, especially in people trained to show empathy with others, and somebody else cried first. But as I said, why does it matter?

On the other hand, does Clinton really expect to take American forces out of Iraq within 60 days of taking office? How many troops? No matter what happens between now and then? Is she really serious about this or will she change in accordance with the polls? She is in favour of universal health care and suggests that Obama isn't, but is it that he isn't as enthusiastic as she is or is he simply trying not to promise something he can't deliver on?

If Clinton is nominated I will support her and vote for her, but tomorrow I intend to vote for Obama in the New York primary and I think I will have a lot of company.

Christopher Hobe Morrison, Pine Bush, Ulster County, NY, USA

Will the US population be gullible enough to fall for crocodile tears for the second time ?

I hope not

Rob, Seattle, Wa

Show me a male candidate with the courage to cry when he feels like it, and I would vote for him. If I had performed like President Bush, I'd be crying like a baby. Every day.

Ron Goodman, Brisbane, Australia

One of the best fighters in modern times, Winston Churchill cried nearly time he saw the effects of the air raids on London

Richard Bowen, Beaverton, OR

Politics or polished tricks?

Jonathan, Auckland, New Zealand

Well done Hillary. This tactic of crying before a primary seems to work in your favour. But you should have a reservoir of tears available as the race takes place in twentysomething states tomorrow. Considering the public humiliation that you endured due to your husband's indiscretions you should have enough tears for years....hope it works.

V Maharaj, Central, Trinidad and tobago

I'm right there with you, Hillary. Every time I think of national health care, spending more on education, and expanding entitlements, I also shed a tear. But it is not a tear of joy. I don't need your promises of free stuff and high taxes, Mrs. Clinton. When will my country return to the rugged individualism of the past and forsake the welfare state?

Charlotte, New Orleans, USA

Give me a break? i don't want a sappy president. What if Obama cried? How would that be looked upon. Hillary is a fake, and this is just her strategy to try to make people sympathize with her. This election is about the best candidate (OBAMA).. VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!! Hillary changes with the weather, and there is no consistency whatsoever when it comes to her...

Stacy, atlanta, US/GA

SO WHAT? The Obama campaign has criticized Hillary Clinton's candidacy as another example of dynastic politics. But now that Obama is playing adopted son of the Kennedy clan, that argument falls apart. Kennedy mystique Is so much JUST hot air. Obama, new? Change? Going back to the Kennedy Camelot Era does not benefit anyone in 2008 - or could even survive with the media probes and questions that are asked today. The Kennedy's have been legally less desirable since JFK. Old Joe and his money?? Questions about his involvement in some of those early elections. All the affairs and nepotism in JFK's cabinet - at least one brother and brother-in-law. And their next generation has certainly made their share of questionable choices, charged with rapes, murders etc... Amazing Ted is shaking his finger at the Clintons! Caroline stayed away from the political arena because she didn't want to align herself and her children with this messy history

Jack Monre, Balto, MD

The last thing this country needs is a president who cries when there's a little pressure. Hopefully the voters tomorrow see through her charade.

Bryan, Houston, USA

oh no, another attack of sentiment...inside a month....well it worked in NH it might work again....

Andy, San Fransisco, California

I agree with Jon - enough is enough!

Andrew, Vancouver,

do we really want the 'worlds most powerful person' crying everytime they are faced with a little bit of pressure. Come on Hilary, i pray that people aren't that fickle.

Jon, sheffield,

Shame on you Beyonce !
Join the bandwagon now before the momentum pick up !
By the way what about the outspken Kanye West ?
Who is he supporting ?

kaima, nakuru, kenya

So he's got a good production sound - does that really qualify him to comment on matters such as this?

Hmm.....

Alex, London,
