In a post about three weeks ago, yours-truly said: “Despite what’s been going on on the Democratic side, I think that Hillary has to remain the nearly prohibitive favorite to win that nomination.” Yesterday’s New Hampshire results demonstrate why that remains the case. In writing her off, the media did Hillary Clinton a great favor, it seems. Now she has just the kind of “comeback” narrative that money could never buy. I must say that Mrs. RWB, whose perceptions must always be taken to heart, attributes the seeming change in fortunes for Hillary to that widely covered tearful interlude from the day before yesterday. Contrary to my instinct that Hillary was injuring herself with what appeared to be a moment of public self-pity, Mrs. RWB says this would have struck a chord with a lot women out there, of a certain age, who feel they try so hard but fail to get their due. That would never have occurred to me. But, clearly, if you look at the exit poll information, something happened yesterday with the women’s vote in New Hampshire.

Does this mean we can expect lots more tears welling up in Mrs. Clinton’s eyes when the going gets rough? What a dismaying thought.
