Dean's fortunes tanked when he capped off the speech that was "like Rowdy Roddy Piper giving a geography lesson" with the emotional scream-heard-round-the-world.

 

Many pundits are crediting Hillary's weepy moment with going a long way towards recapturing the chick-vote. How well would this work for a man? How does this compare with the original "Musky Moment"?

 

Discuss.

It wasn't the yell but how Dean pulled off the yell. If it didn't seem so un-aesthetic it would not have cost him. Hillary knows how to aesthetically cry. She practiced for months in front of a mirror to perfect it.

 

A key gauge American's use to choose their leaders is how aesthetic the candidates display emotion. This is done at a unconscious level, as the apes we evolved from picked their leaders with the criteria. You simply can't have your leader, in the middle an attack by a neighboring tribe of gorillas have an emotional outburst that doesn't fit within the tribal expectation for such a thing. It could seriously impact the survivability of the tribe. On the other hand, properly formatted emotion can really bond the tribe, resulting in much better poo flinging.

She just took a page from Bill's book. He was good for a tear when he campaigned. I makes people think that you're human. I saw W's eyes well up during a State of the Union address. Rodham's did seem a little theatrical though. And it was effective. :cry:

Could New England racism be the culprit? 99% New Hampshire whitey tells the pollster he's voting for Obama to publicly portray him/her self as open minded - then does something completely different in the privacy of the voting booth?
