美麗的錯誤
「我暖暖的提問聲,是個美麗的錯誤,我不是您的支持者,祇是為奧巴馬而來。」
希拉莉能夠在民調落後雙位數的情況下大翻盤,傳媒和政治評論家都摸不著頭腦,嘗試找各種理由來解釋這本來不能的選舉結果。有線電視新聞網的一位主播在希拉莉發勝利表演說後,半感慨半開玩笑的說:「她沒有理由出現在這裡的。」
不可能的事情發生了,令人第一時間聯想到希拉莉在投票日前一天早上的淚眼,是她那含著淚眼水的眼神,和那硬咽顫抖的聲線,回答了餐廳裡一名婦女的提問,感動了新罕州的婦女投她一票嗎?很有這個可能。
因為,選前民意調查其實並沒有真的特大出錯,民調平均估計奧巴馬將得票37%,愛德華茲19%。結果前者真的得票37%,而後者得票17%,應算是中的了。但在希拉莉方面,選前民調顯示她最多也只能得到30%,但她卻拿走了39%的票。希拉莉的逆轉,與婦女票也有著很密切的關係。選前民調顯示奧巴馬的婦女票比她還要多三個百分點,但投票日她所得的婦女票比奧巴馬還要多十三個百分點。因此,可以很合邏輯地推論,在投票日變心的是女性選民。
希拉莉強忍淚水的畫面,打動了不少女選民的心。傳媒在事發當日即質疑希拉莉是真情抑或假意,加上由於希拉莉助選團曾有預先安排問題供現場提問的劣跡,傳媒當然也想查探此場面是否早有預謀。在投票結束後,媒體找到了令希拉莉悲從中來的提問人,發現她原來是奧巴馬的支持者,當日到餐廳是為了堅定自己不應投票結希拉莉的信念。可是,她的問題太感性了,事後希拉莉解釋當時差點兒哭出來,是感到提問人對她個人的關懷,因而被軟化了。
希拉莉在選情低迷時受感動了而真情流露,進而感動了無數選民。而令她如此感動的那名女選民,卻說在前一天聽奧巴馬演說而兩度落淚。一番感動,卻原來是一場美麗的誤會。

眼淚勝子彈! 為何秀蓮四年前不懂這招?
This is the secret weapon of the woman. It is time for Obama to play the game differently. You vote for me because I am an Afraican American. Lincoln did not finish the job. Martin Luther King did not finish the job. It is time for me (to be the president) to do the job.
Politics is just a game for the power-hungers. Now the lady utilizes human tears other than kissing babies.
Remember Mr. Peanuts president? He accepted an interview with the Playboy magazine and won the presidency. What follows? U.S paid the mid-east countries to stop fighting; prime rate was 21%; gold price was above US$800.
You just have to do whatever it takes to win; because winning is the only thing (not everything).
As they said in movie APollo 13, "failure is not an option".
President Chen in Taiwan also pulled a rabbit out of the hat 4 years ago.
Everybody has a set of tricks.
I am sure there will be more interesting things to come.
Stay tuned.
