What you have are candidates that have dreamed of being President for years and years, worked hard to maintain a stoic demeanor, and found themselves behind in intense races in which they suddenly found themselves behind and in danger of having their dreams and hard work crushed. Also, keep in mind that candidates are now campaigning 24/7 for several months to years longer than they usually would... Romney decided he was running in '04 and Hillary not soon after. I'd probably cry if I were in their shoes, and I think given the length of the campaign, I'd bet that they're not the last candidates this season to lose it a bit on camera.

I might believe what you're saying if it were anyone else but Romney. When Hucabee and "the populist approach" became buzz words in this campaign, suddenly Romney 'remembered' his father marching with MLK. Of course it never happened but it made for a nice sound byte. When "a proponent for change" became the next buzz words, suddenly Romney was all about change. And then when Hillary cried and it seemed to get her votes, suddenly Romney turns into a gushing water works. I hope none of the other candidates base jump from a office building into an arena filled with supporters, because Romney will do the same damn thing, and frankly, he looks a little fragile for base jumping.
