For what it's worth, my theory about the strategy behind the tears in New Hampshire, moist eyes in New Haven, and the whole act of appearing cash-strapped after Super Tuesday is not that these acts themselves will inspire sympathy among voters. Rather, her campaign is trying to bait the media into pronouncing Hillary "over" and THAT will inspire a backlash among voters who feel that Hillary is being treated unfairly.
The media took the bait in New Hampshire, but not in New Haven, and I think they swallowed the $5 million loan story as well.
And I did too, dammit.
