EXTREME caution is going to be necessary
Obama, Edwards and all their surrogates need to be VERY careful here -- they're venturing into a minefield when they try to analyze (over-analyze?) Hillary Clinton's apparent tears. Better to just leave it alone and move on.
Whether the tears were real or not, whether there even WERE any tears, and whether or not she ever got teary over anything else (including Katrina, 9/11, or Bill's infidelity) isn't likely to be fertile ground for her opponents. They're going to be perceived as unfair and just plain MEAN if they persist in trying to criticize her this way.
More likely than not, it will backfire and actually help Hillary cement her support.
