"Hillary Has An Emotional Moment On Campaign Trail (with video)

TPM Election Central,with video (01:51):
The Wall Street Journal flags a key moment from the trail today, in which Hillary showed a table-full of undecided voters an emotional side:

“It’s not easy, it’s not easy,” Clinton said shaking her head. Her eyes began to get watery as she finished answering the question, “I couldn’t do it if I didn’t passionately believe it was the right thing to do. This is very personal for me. I have so many ideas for this country and I just don’t want to see us fall backwards. It’s about our country, it’s about our kids’ future,” she said softly crying, her voice breaking.

The group of 15 women sitting around a table at the Cafe Espresso nodded understandingly. Clinton continued, her voice still cracking: “We do it each one of us because we care about our country, but some of us are right and some of us are wrong, some of us are ready and some of us are not, some of us know what we’ll do on day one and some of us don’t,” she said.

ABC has the video.

Late Update: Ben Smith has a more extensive account.

Howie P.S.: Immediately after the Hillary video, you can watch "On Obama's Campaign Bus" from ABC News, video (02:21).
