Clinton Shrieks for Support
NORTH BERGEN, N.J. -- Speaking to workers at a nursing home, Hillary Clinton got overly excited upon ending her speech tonight when she repeatedly asked the crowd to turn out to vote for her in New Jersey's primary on Super Tuesday, Feb. 5.
"Will you help me?! Will you help me?! Will you help me?! Will you help me?! Will you help me?! Will you help me?!" Clinton yelled six times as she tried to rally the crowd's support. However, her yelling came out more like shrieking.
This was no scream a la Howard Dean on the night of the 2004 Iowa caucuses, but it was hard for reporters not to make the comparison. Clinton's enthusiasm and highly-pitched squelch left many in the press reaching to cover their ears.
Prior to this excitement, Clinton spoke to the predominantly Hispanic crowd and focused on issues including immigration and health care.
